Taking X-rays hurts your body?

When it comes to taking X-rays, many patients worry about the harm to their bodies and even refuse to take them. In fact, dental X-rays are different from X-rays of other parts of the body. Their exposure range is very small and the radiation dose is also very low, so they can be used with confidence. Moreover, the general oral examination cannot achieve the function of fluoroscopy of the tooth alveolar bone. Only through X-ray filming can the doctor understand the internal condition of the patient’s jawbone more clearly. Taking X-rays is not only helpful for the course of treatment but also serves as a basis for doctors to evaluate future changes in teeth.
