Your Dentist in Chevy Chase

Recently in the news and on the web there have been articles about dental x rays. Some of the information in these articles is certainly open to discussion. The state of Maryland Dept of Enviroment examines dental x rays annually and the amount of radiation is checked to be safe. We just had our inspection passed with flying colors. We have digital x rays which are not only a much more environmentally safe x ray (no solutions used to develop the films) but digital x rays use 1/3 the radiation of a regular x ray. I recommend diagnostic X rays according to each patient's needs. Once a year would be about the norm. It is six x rays that allow us to look for problems between the teeth. We can see problems at a much earlier stage than if we waited to have them be visible to the eye. All or our x rays are taken with a lead shield that has a thyroid protector reducing exposure even further. In our office we tell you that you are due for X-rays and ask your permission to take them. Some of my patients are on a 24 month sequence some 18 months, most once a year. It depends on how much dental work you have had, the more work the more to be concerned about. Remember cell phones emit radiation, the sun gives off radiation, and when you fly in a plane you are getting radiation. So, in all things considered dental radiation that is state regulated is probably the safest X ray you will ever have.
