Yes: Yes. Dental radiographs use minute amounts of radiation compared to older types

Yes: Radiation is cumulative, so the time span between x-rays is inconsequential. The amount of radiation exposure to take a full mouth x-ray series of 14+ films is less that a normal day's background radiation. We try very hard to reduce your x-ray exposure, but it's impossible to work blind. X-rays are required to assure the quality of your treatment.

No Problem: Very minimal dosage.
