👻 Spooky season is here, but dental X-rays don’t need to be scary
This post isn’t here to frighten you. It’s here to be open, informative and honest about something patients often have questions about: radiation from dental X-rays 🦷
Yes, dental imaging uses radiation, but the amount involved is generally very low, and X-rays are only recommended when they’re clinically needed.
From small dental X-rays to OPGs and CBCT scans, these images can give us important information that simply can’t be seen during a regular examination.
We believe our patients deserve to understand why we take X-rays, what they expose you to, and why the benefit can be so valuable 🤍
Swipe through as we put dental X-ray radiation into perspective with a few everyday comparisons ➡️
(Radiation doses vary depending on the type of image, equipment and settings used)
