Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used.

Dr. Mazariegos will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed.
