You might already know that the advanced technology we know as digital X-rays is quickly becoming standard in dental practices. What you might not know, however, is if you will ever require these X-rays. You might also be a bit unsure about what makes them so unique (and preferable) when compared with the conventional imaging you may have grown up with. Allow us to help you out with some details (or discover your knowledge is already quite refined) with a quiz.
