Dental Records Question...

[leafygreen]

For those that have gone through this process of providing the Panorex and Bitewing radiographs -
our dentist only has digitals of these. Has anyone ran into this issue before of not having actual 'x-ray' radiographs? I'm unsure how to handle this scenario...because it says they will be providing a radiograph-safe mailing envelope to mail all films.
Thanks in advance for any input!!

They can be emailed. No problem. Call the dental clinic and ask for the person that handles the incoming cadets. They will give you the email address.

The should be printed on printer paper and mailed, per the directions. Most dentist are digital now...it's no big deal to print them.

I did call and they must be printed out, but can be done so on regular printer paper.
Ps, this is for USMAPS.
Thank you!!
