Is dental X-ray safe?
The dosage of radiation in Dental X-ray is extremely low, the lowest of all kinds of medical radiation.
The radiation dose absorbed by a passenger during a 10-hour air flight is about 4 times more than taking a panoramic X-ray or 18 times more than taking a periapical X-ray.
It can be said that under normal use, dental X-rays are safe and reliable for both children or adults.
兒童牙齒撞傷脫落急救3部曲
兒童牙齒撞傷脫落急救3部曲：有些事情絕不能做！ 大家好！各位爸爸媽媽知道嗎？原來有二至三成、年齡介乎6至12歲的兒童，曾遭遇不同程度的牙齒創傷。其中8至12歲更是受傷的高峰期，因為此階段兒童的體能活動變得更劇烈，但身體動作的協調性仍在發展中。作為兩個孩子的父親，我定會盡力留意並保護孩子，免受傷害。然而，意外往往難以預料。假如孩子在玩耍時突然撞傷或跌倒，導致整顆門牙脫落，各位家長知道該如何處理嗎？家長首先必須保持冷靜。請記住，如果處理得當，牙醫是有可能把牙齒救回來的。急救三步驟 • 第一步：拾回牙齒撿起牙齒時，只能觸碰牙冠（牙齒頂端）的部分，千萬不要碰觸牙根。同時，切勿用水沖洗牙齒，或用普通紙巾包裹，因為這樣做會殺死牙根表面的細胞。 • 第二步：妥善保存牙齒最好將脫落的牙齒浸泡在冰牛奶中。若身邊沒有牛奶，浸泡在生理鹽水，或是直接含在兒童自己的口腔內（注意避免誤吞）也是可行的方法。 • 第三步：盡快就醫請立即帶孩子去看牙醫，在黃金30分鐘內接受治療最為理想。如果拖延超過60分鐘，牙根細胞會開始壞死，到時想要救回牙齒就非常困難了。希望以上資訊，能在關鍵時刻為各位爸爸媽媽提供幫助。
