Family Dentistry of Texoma

Yes, dental X-rays are very safe. The amount of radiation exposure from modern digital X-rays is extremely low — far less than what you receive from natural background sources in a single day. We use digital radiography which reduces radiation by up to 80% compared to traditional film X-rays. X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool that allows us to detect issues hidden beneath the surface, such as decay between teeth, bone loss, and impacted teeth.
