Consumers can now receive comprehensive dental scans at Nhill Hospital, with a new state-of-the-art dental x-ray machine recently installed.
The machine, known as a Orthopantomogram or OPG, can provide multiple angled panoramic x-ray images of both the lower and upper jaw, allowing for a thorough investigation of consumer’s dental health.
“It’s a key piece of equipment used by our dental surgeon, Sean Hogan, so investing in the latest technology and machine was imperative,” Ritchie Dodds, CEO West Wimmera Health Service said.
“It means people in our communities can access this service more locally rather than having to travel significant distances otherwise.
“We’re proud to be able to continue to offer high quality services such as this to the people we serve.”
