Watch Dr. Abbott break down them importance of dental x-rays!
Let me ask you a question. Would you mind if your dentist was blind?
Of course you would! I know it’s a silly question but it’s actually not that far-fetched. You see, a dentist’s eyes can only see about a third of your tooth. Most dental problems are hidden in the blind spots between your teeth or underneath the gums where bone loss occurs.
X-rays are a valuable snap-shot in time of your ever-changing dental health. Your dentist can look back in your X-ray history and compare for change. X-rays are essential for diagnosing your present state of health or disease and they are also the standard of care!
People’s safety concerns about X-rays are subjective and are typically about radiation exposure. Check out our video to learn some interesting facts about X-ray radiation exposure or visit American Nuclear Society.

Here are some hard facts from the American Nuclear Society that better communicate how safe X-rays are.
For example, a round-trip flight from Atlanta to LA expose passengers and crew to more radiation than an average set of dental X-rays.
“And Airline crews fly day in and day out every single day, 365 days a year”.
Here’s another interesting fact.
International Safety Standards allow nuclear facility workers radiation exposure of up to 5,000 millirems per year. That’s equivalent to 10,000 dental X-rays.
It’s fair to say you won’t ever be getting 10 thousand dental X-rays in a lifetime
So it’s safe to say, you’re safe.
