I have some small oral tumers, Is it danger to have X-rays in Dental office?
x rays can pin point what is wrong.
Reply:They say that x-rays in a dentist office are very safe. I would not have them every day, but every six months is probably okay, and certainly safer than not treating oral tumors.
Reply:nowadays, x-rays are generally quit safe. it is better to investigate (even through x-rays)


to make a more informed decision regarding your options for treatment/cure.
Reply:Your dentist definitely needs to know about the oral tumors and what type of tumors they are. X-rays should only be used when necessary anyway.
Reply:Too many x-rays can have a negative effect, but the likelihood that you would have that many x-rays in a year is highly unlikely. Having x-rays every six months is within the acceptable guidelines in terms of how much radiation you are exposed to each year as set by the federal government. For dental assistants, hygienists and other dental professionals, it would be important for them to follow guidelines on taking x-rays to avoid their exposure- but you have to realize they take many x-rays on many patients every day that they are working. Even then, if they follow the proper protocol, they minimize their exposure to under the federal guideline. As a sidenote, the new trend is to reduce the number of times x-rays are taken, unless there are certain conditions that would suggest the presence of interproximal (in between) cavities. For example, if you came in and had more cavities, even though you didn't have any six months ago, then that would be an indication to take x-rays. Some dentists will go up to two years without taking an x-ray as long as the patient keeps up with hygiene and no new problems arise. The short answer is that x-rays every six months are okay.
