Patient Protection Lead Dental

Dental x-rays are an indispensable tool in diagnosing and monitoring oral conditions that may require prompt treatment. Today, most dentists recommend regular x-rays at certain intervals of time for all patients. It is important that dental lead aprons are used during these procedures to prevent patients from x-ray exposure. Numerous tooth and mouth diseases can be detected by x-ray procedures including periodontal (gum) disease, certain oral tumors, decay between teeth, and an array of other abnormalities that can pose serious health risks.

If you operate a dentist's office or a radiology lab that services a dental practice, you owe it to your patients and staff to provide dental lead aprons to help protect them from scattered radiation. Dental xray aprons are specially designed to absorb a majority of the electromagnetic waves that would otherwise penetrate into the patient's and technician's bodies. At Universal Medical, we offer several products designed for dental radiation safety.

• Our standard dental lead apron boasts a non-slip backing for secure placement. It's available in both adult and child sizes, and can be embroidered with the name of your practice.
• Our Velcro closure dental xray apron protects both the front and back of a patient during a panoramic dental exam.
• Designed for medical personnel, our dental technologist apron protects medical staff from radiation with full lead protection and a secure, quick fit.
• We also offer smaller dental x-ray ponchos to provide comfort and protection for child patients.

Available in a wide variety of custom colors and embroideries, our dental lead aprons and dental technologist aprons lend a pleasing, professional appearance to your dental radiation safety apparel, while providing first-rate protection.
