123Dentist practitioners avoid taking unnecessary dental X-rays to ensure patients are not exposed to radiation any longer than needed. X-rays are treated as a diagnostic tool, meaning they are used when it is necessary in order to give accurate diagnoses. If you are in good oral health and your dentist does not believe you have dental issues that need close monitoring, you will likely only receive a set of dental X-rays once every 24 to 36 months. That being said, each set of X-rays ordered by a dentist is done so on a case by case basis to ensure that you are receiving the dental care that’s best for you. If you have dental issues such as, cavities, tooth root problems, gum disease, gingivitis, or concerns about your jaw, you will receive the amount of dental X-rays that your dentist deems necessary to keep your oral health in tip-top shape.
