The Truth about Gray Film

Quality You Can Trust

As a dental professional, you’ve made the right choice by selecting KODAK Dental Film for your diagnostic imaging needs. Carestream Dental products are synonymous with high-quality and, as always, we are committed to helping you capture the clearest, sharpest diagnostic images possible.

With today’s economy, we understand that you may be tempted to consider lower-cost film products, which, thanks to global accessibility via the Internet, are easier than ever to obtain. While we realize that, at first glance, these alternatives may appear to be more affordable options, it is important to understand that these products may be far more costly.

Unknown Sources Equals Unknown Risks

It is our commitment to you that warns you of the risks of obtaining dental film from unknown sources over the Internet. Known as “gray film,” many of these products have not been approved for use in the United States or Canada, which can cause undue risk to your patients’ safety, as well as threaten your practice’s reputation.

When you purchase film from unauthorized sources, there is no way to know whether the product you receive is actually the product you intended to purchase. Oftentimes, products are improperly labeled or stored and, in many cases, they are repackaged with missing or altered expiration dates. The instructions and traceability information may also not be included.
