ARE X-RAYS NECESSARY? ARE
THEY SAFE?
X rays will not be taken each time
you visit the dentist. Depending on
the clinical presentation of the
teeth, the dentist may decide and
explain why they’re important to
complete an examination. Dental
x rays are generally very safe. We
ensure that we use the lowest effec-
tive dose with proper technique and
protective gear for our patients.
WHAT’S FLUORIDE? IS IT GOOD?
Fluoride is a derivative from natural
fluorine. It helps teeth fight decay
by restoring lost tooth minerals. It
also
inhibits
bacteria
from
producing acid that can breakdown
tooth structure. Research along the
years has shown that it is one of the
most effective and safe tools to fight
cavities.
