Are Dental X-rays Safe?

Описание: Lots of patients wonder about radiation exposure when it comes to getting dental x-rays. This video discusses ALARA, compares dental radiation to daily background radiation, and talks about the overall importance and benefits of dental x-rays.

Are you a little skeptical when it comes to getting dental X-rays? Are dental X-rays safe? If you’ve ever wondered how much radiation you’re really getting exposed to when it comes to your regular dental visits, you’re not alone. After all, why is your dentist draping you with a huge lead apron every time you get X-rays taken?

Are Dental X-Rays Safe?
Yes. First off, today’s digital X-rays don’t use near as much radiation as what traditional radiographs (X-rays) did a couple of decades ago. But even then, they were still safe!

Today it’s possible to take a FULL mouth series of dental X-rays using less radiation than what you would be exposed to on an airplane flight from LA to NYC, or just eating food. In fact, a SINGLE tooth X-ray is exactly double the radiation that you get from eating a banana.

“ALARA” stands for “as low as reasonably achievable.” It’s the standard for radiation exposure when any dental patient has X-rays made, no matter how many! With ALARA, every precaution is taken (aka, covering your thyroid and reproductive glands with a thin layer of lead, which by the way is impenetrable by the tiny beams of radiation being used!)

Why Are Dental X-Rays Performed?
X-rays show us what’s not visible with the naked eye. So, when it comes to the bone and structures under your gums and between your teeth, X-rays are a crucial part of your dental exam.

If you skip your dental X-rays, you could essentially be in the dark when it comes to tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, cysts, abscessed teeth, cracked roots, or leaky dental work. By the time those conditions are visible without X-rays, they’re usually way worse and even more expensive to treat than they would have been, had they been diagnosed earlier.
