FAQ > Common Questions > Why do I need xray films? Are they safe? How often should they be done?
Dental films (xrays) are necessary for the dentist to see what is going on below the gums or inside the teeth where he cannot see visually. Dental films are very small and pose no significant radiation risk. At Duncraig Dental Care we use advanced digital imaging which reduces the already minimal radiation dosage even more. As a general rule, we recommend routine films every two years. However, some patients with specific problems may need more frequent films to monitor their progress.
