Are X-Rays Harmful?

Dental x-rays use very low-level radiation; therefore are not harmful. In fact, the ADA states that radiation exposure from an X-ray is minuscule in comparison to the exposure people receive on a daily basis. 

 

Advantages of Dental X-rays:

• Allows for dentists to see beneath your gums
• Allows for dentists to see between your teeth.  
• Detect oral health issues early on
• Allows for preventative measures
• Will save you both time and money later on
