Digital x-rays for dental purposes use a low level of radiation compared to traditional dental x-rays. We use lead aprons to protect the body from exposure to radiation. We usually recommend Bite-wing x-rays once or twice a year along with your routine check-up visits and a full mouth series or a local area as necessary based on your symptoms and individual risk of disease.
