To assist the dentist in identifying dental problems that are not visible during a clinical exam, digital x-rays are taken annually. In addition, we offer a 3-D digital x-ray to diagnose jaw problems, maxillary sinus issues, and root infections. This is taken approximately every 3-5 years.
Many patients have questions and concerns about the type and amount of radiation in a dental office. For additional information, please visit ada.org or mouthhealthy.org.
