Dental x-rays are considered safe, as they emit low amounts of radiation. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the radiation exposure from dental x-rays is minimal compared to the natural background radiation we are exposed to daily.
Why Dental X-Rays Are Important
Dental x-rays are vital because they enable our dentists to accurately detect and diagnose dental problems early on. When we find and treat problems in their earliest stages, we can protect your oral health and minimize your need for more invasive treatments in the future.
Our Safe Digital X-Rays Reduce Exposure
We use digital x-rays at Eagle Dental Texas, reducing radiation exposure by up to 80 percent compared to traditional film x-rays. Digital x-rays provide clearer images and enable our dental team to detect and diagnose issues with greater precision and efficiency.
In line with our commitment to your safety and well-being, we only take x-rays as needed to provide safe and effective treatment. The frequency of your x-rays will depend on your individual needs and oral health history. Our dentists will carefully evaluate your risk factors and dental situation to determine the appropriate intervals.
