The Carl Sandburg College dental hygiene program’s X-ray machines are getting an upgrade.
The Sandburg Board of Trustees during its regular monthly meeting, approved a bid to purchase six new dental X-ray stations for the College’s dental hygiene program. The new digital sensors, purchased through Patterson Dental Supply in Davenport, Iowa, will support the imaging component of the program and replace the machines in three suites that are already digital-compatible. They will also allow the program to upgrade three other suites from an analog to a digital format.
The new X-ray stations are more representative of current equipment standards within the industry. In addition to being included in classroom training, the machines will be used as part of the program’s dental hygiene clinic, which provides low-cost dental hygiene services to the public.
