X-rays are important
We believe that dental x-rays are very important to our patients’ dental health. We want to you to know why. X-rays are more than an office standard procedure. Through this we are able to see what is going on in your mouth. This is how we gauge your dental condition. Without this, we won’t be able to give an accurate diagnosis. If this is not for our patients’ best interest, we will not ask you to go through this.
