Our dentists use x-rays to diagnose dental problems including dental decay and gum disease, and to assess impacted wisdom teeth and root canal therapy. We take sets of x-rays at regular intervals, typically every two years for adults in reasonable dental health while younger patients whose teeth and jaws are still developing, or those with on-going dental problems may need more frequent x-rays. We only use digital x-rays because it typically reduces radiation exposure by 75%.
