Radiographs are an important and essential component of ensuring that your mouth is healthy and disease free. We do not have Superman’s x-ray vision, although being able to get changed in a phone booth might come in handy, and so any decay or growths that are happening below the gum line, or inside the tooth could go undetected for quite some time, resulting in bigger, more painful (and expensive) procedures. Our goal is to take the utmost care of our patients, and we are not willing to neglect any aspect of that. We follow an x-ray protocol that follows the guidelines set forth by the American Dental Association. We are also a digital office, which means the radiation exposure to you is as little as 10% of traditional x-rays. Learn more about why we rely on routine x-rays.
