Dental X-Ray go hand in hand with a dental check-up, as it provides information which the dentist can’t see. It helps the dentist to detect hidden problems which may get bigger if remain undetected and complete an accurate treatment plan.
We recommend chair side set of two Bitewing X rays once every two years for detailed exam of teeth & an OPG X ray once every 2- 3 years for overall examination of jaw bones & teeth
