Uniquely, the foam envelope is coated with a flavoring material which improves patient comfort and the foam envelope can be used for multiple x-ray procedures on the same patient, thereby decreasing the cost of the procedure. The method of this invention involves placing the x-ray film into the cover. Positioning the film and cover within the mouth of a dental patient. Exposing the x-ray film to an external x-ray source. Removing the film and cover from within the mouth of a dental patient. Removing the cover from the film and reusing the cover on other x-ray film procedures as needed for the same patient.
