Common Questions About Digital X-Rays
Yes, digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them extremely safe. We follow ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.
Frequency depends on your oral health. Most patients need bitewing X-rays once a year and a panoramic X-ray every 3-5 years, or as needed for diagnosis.
Yes, many dental problems develop silently without symptoms. X-rays can detect cavities, infections, and bone loss long before they become painful.
You have the right to decline, but X-rays are essential for a comprehensive diagnosis. Without them, we may miss hidden problems that could worsen over time.
