Risk of dental x-rays

While dental X-rays do involve radiation, the exposure levels are so low that they're considered safe even for children and adults. At Malo Smile USA  we use digital X-rays instead of developing them on film. Your risks from radiation exposure are even lower. Your safety is most important to us.

X-rays help the dentist examine areas not always visible to the naked eye, such as the teeth' space. They also allow the dentist to see below the teeth' enamel surface and help the dentist locate areas of decay and check bone levels surrounding the teeth. X-rays are not required for each visit.
