In the last five years a new dental x-ray system which uses computer imaging and a in the mouth sensor instead of actual film has been on the market, and my dentist and many others have switched to it. You receive 1/10th the amount of radiation (which was low anyway) and the doctor can email your x-rays to another doctor instantly. Dental images are much lower exposure than CT scans which we all get as a matter of course for years after treatment.
