Dental X-Ray Update
We are aware of a recent study that associates yearly or more frequent dental X-rays to an increased risk of developing meningioma, the most commonly diagnosed brain tumor. The Brandywine Smile Center’s long-standing position is that dental X-rays are only ordered when necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Since 1994 The Brandywine Smile Center has utilized digital radiography in order to further lessen radiation exposure by as much as 90% over conventional dental x-rays.
While we recognize the recent study is unreliable as it does not differentiate the high doses of radiation that was standard practice decades ago, we always strive to reduce radiation exposure to all of our patients. We follow the ADA recommendation to minimize exposure and protect the health of all of our patients.
Dental X-rays are valuable in helping us detect and treat oral health problems at an early stage. Many oral diseases can’t be detected on the basis of a visual and physical examination alone, and dental X-rays are valuable in providing information about a patient’s oral health such as early-stage cavities, gum diseases, infections or some types of tumors. How often dental X-rays should be taken depends on the patient’s oral health condition, age, risk for disease and any signs and symptoms of oral disease that the patient might be experiencing.
As always we are here to help answer any questions.
