Should You Worry About Dental X-rays?

Dearborn cosmetic dental and tooth implants

At Allen Park Dental Care, providing quality dental care is much easier when we have comprehensive information about their patients’ oral health.

Pictures are more accurate than written notes. To go a step further: pictures that show what’s going on below the visible surface of your teeth are worth even more than a thousand words. So, along with a thorough visual analysis, we want complete and up-to-date X-rays.

The frequency of X-rays is largely determined by your age as well as the state of your oral health. Because children are growing and they experience more changes to their teeth, they usually need X-rays more often.

X-rays also help us find cavities, evaluate gum health, and identify any major changes to your teeth and mouth.

Safety is an important issue, because low levels of radiation are used to obtain the images. Many critical precautions are taken to limit exposure, such as putting leaded aprons and collars on our patients.

It is critical that women inform us if they are pregnant because special considerations should be taken.

Should you worry about dental X-rays? Absolutely not! At Allen Park Dental Care, services include family and restorative dentistry. Call us to schedule a cleaning and checkup today!
