Are X-rays necessary to keep my teeth healthy?

Absolutely. X-rays are very important, as they help detect:

• Cavities between teeth and around old fillings
• Progression of bone loss caused by gum disea
• Infections or bone anomalies
• Teeth that are stuck or impacted under the gum, like wisdom teeth/li>
• Long or curved roots that require special attention, like a root canal or an extraction
• Temporomandibular joint problems

When using our high-tech, digital X-ray equipment, we reduce your exposure to radiation through the use of a lead apron and collar. Our 3D, panoramic, cephalometric, interproximal, and periapical equipment are specially designed for specific and detailed X-rays.

We usually recommend X-rays be taken every two to five years, depending on your needs. They enable the detection of the aforementioned issues and help ensure optimal oral health. Without X-rays, some dental problems may not be detected in time. Please let us know if you are pregnant, so that we can decide what is best for you and your baby.
