Hey guys.
My dentist wants to have me do a set of complete mouth x-rays.
He does not use a digital X-ray system.
It isn't 50 years old either - but I'm just wondering if it is worth the
exposure?
Should I consider having him send me to someone who has a digital system?
It's one thing to have X-rays done once a year, four total... It's another
to have enough to cover each tooth in detail.
Very interested in your opinions.
Thanks :)
If you want to be sure you do not have any hidden problems in your
mouth, including new decay, bone cancer, chronic infection from
previous dental work, it is advised to get the 18 -20 films vs just
the 4-6 which do not show what is happening at the roots of your back
teeth and which may have overlapped teeth and may be un-diagnostic.
Sounds like you are not comfortable asking your dentist to explain
this to you. To me it seems your dentist is giving you sound advice,
why do you not trust him/her?
