How Often Should We Have a Dental X-Ray?

· Castlemill Dental

It is very common for a dentist to x-ray your mouth in order to determine the state of his or her teeth. Still, how often should such a procedure take place and what problems can it solve?

  • You could need to have more than one a year if you have a dental problem

  • This will help determine if specific teeth (like wisdom teeth) need to be pulled.

  • X-rays are also used if you will soon be receiving implants

“Children may need to have dental X-rays more often than adults.”
