FAQs
Are digital dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. At Upper Cape Advanced Dentistry, we adhere to strict safety protocols to protect your health while getting a clear view of your teeth.
Why do I need X-rays if my teeth feel fine?
Many issues, such as decay between teeth, bone loss, or abscesses, are not visible to the naked eye. X-rays allow us to detect and treat these problems before they cause pain.
How often do I need them taken?
For most patients, we recommend bite-wing X-rays once a year. Dr. Dinyaryan and Dr. Marshall will determine the best schedule based on your specific oral health history and risk factors.
Can I get X-rays if I am pregnant?
While digital X-rays are very safe, we generally avoid them during pregnancy unless it is a dental emergency. Please let our team know if you are expecting so we can take appropriate precautions.
