Share of Cost, Dental X Rays
Dental X-rays, are a important tool that your dentist uses in order to look for decay (cavities) or other oral health problems that cannot be seen during the clinical exam. X-rays also provide the best way for the dentist to see a need for root canal treatment, or bone loss that may indicate advanced gum disease. More people are trying to limit how many times they get x-rays done in a year and generally dental will only do one set of x-rays a year unless there are new dental issue that need to be address.
