Better Teeth, Better Resolution, and None of the Film

Dr. Gregory Wm. Branch, M.D., MBA, CPE

Baltimore County Health Officer

Gone are the days of waiting for x-ray film to be developed during a dental appointment at a Baltimore County Dental Clinic. The new digital equipment now being used consists of a sensor that goes into the mouth and connects to a laptop.

Patients will not notice any difference in the technique used to capture a picture of their pearly whites, but they will notice the difference in the way the images are viewed.

Once an x-ray is taken, with the click of a button, the image appears on the laptop screen and can be manipulated to enhance its diagnostic quality. The smallest detail can be viewed larger than life.

Upgrading to digital x-rays has become a great way to go paperless and manage patients’ dental snapshots, leaving our dentists and patients with a smile. To find out more about our Baltimore County Dental Clinic, just click here.

This has to be a trick question.

"You will be asked to complete an income evaluation form and provide proof of income and residency at your first appointment ..."

How are they going to verify anything when BC is a sanctuary county, meaning they don't ask those kinds of questions especially when prof is required.

Hi Buzz! It's always great reading your comments. I live directly behind an apartment complex that is a major sanctuary. Surely that sad excuse Quirk knew about it. No one asked the folks in the on Elm Ridge what we thought. Big shout out to Catholic Charities for turning our neighborhood into a third world nation.

You're exactly right.....they don't ask. No social security number, no problem. No photo, no problem. How does a family of 4 or 5 illegals live on $250. a month, but if they present a letter from their employer stating this, it's accepted as proof. As long as you can prove you live in Baltimore County, are between the ages of 0 - 21 or pregnant or over 60, you will be treated. Anyone in fitting that criteria cannot be turned away. Essentially the taxpayers of Baltimore County are footing the bills in thousands of dollars of dental work for illegals. So the next time you see an illegal chances are you paid for that SMILE!

Terry, thanks. History teaches many lessons and sadly politicians are so rapped up in PC-ness they will be doomed to repeat it.

Quirk is a liberal and his recent two PUD's he introduced are represented by his chief supporter Jim Smith. Liberalism ends when it comes to interfering with one's own agenda.

Jim Smith, former Judge and county executive, why would he want to give almost $200,000.00 to put three councilman in office? This was in the Patch awhile back, he, also had a magazine put Catonsville in as a great place to live when he was county executive. Quirk was and is a investment guy, why does he even want to be a councilman. He didn't know anything about it. Someone told me he was put in there by Moxley, Smith , Mohler and Waelen the land guy.Its just another day in District 1 of good ol boy politics. We need a councilman who can see beyond 21228.

Terry, you ask why someone would donate money to a political campaign. Look at the millions being dumped into the presidential election. The Gingrich Super-Pac got $10 million from one man. Of course they were not allowed to "coordinate". Some of the Super-Pacs are even allowed to keep donors anonymous. This is our democratic political system at its worst.

Those with money will control all. It has been that way for a very long time.

Hi Paul! I just wish it wasn't in my own backyard. Money talks, that I am aware of. I live in District 1, I seriously would like to see a new district and 21228 can have their own. It's was like this the last 16 years now we have a new good ole boy for 4 more years.
