Why Are X-rays Needed?

When you go to the Dentist Office, every single time you sit down at the chair, you are given an X-ray.

Have you wondered why this is necessary every single time?

It is necessary because Dentists use X-rays because it helps them to check tooth and gum health. If you are dealing with gum disease, is is even more necessary to use an X-ray.

X-rays are very effective! But what about their safety?

If you visit the Dentist twice a year and you get an X-ray both times, then it is very safe to do so. X-rays also release much less radiation and have come a long way in terms of safety compared to the past.

So when you sit down at the Dental Office, you’ll know why you’re getting an X-ray and why it is necessary.
