Dental X-Rays

The “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”. Let the X-rays speak!

Dental radiographs (X-rays) are excellent diagnostic tools that provide information that isn’t evident during a typical dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to uncover concealed dental issues and create an exact treatment plan in a safe and accurate manner. Problem areas may be undiscovered without X-rays.

Are Dental X-Rays Safe?

We are all exposed to natural radiation in our environment. The amount of radiation exposure from a full mouth series of X-rays is equal to the amount a person receives in a single day from natural sources.

 

Ensuring Safety During Dental X-Rays

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), radiation exposure associated with dentistry represents a minor contribution to the total exposure from all sources, including natural and man-made.

When taking dental X-rays, our experienced and certified clinicians take all appropriate steps to reduce the patient’s exposure to radiation. These safeguards include the use of lead apron shields to protect the body and the use of contemporary, rapid film that reduces the X-ray exposure duration. Our staff will make sure to accommodate your requests, answer your concerns, and follow all radiation safety requirements.
