How often should my dentist be x-raying my teeth?
The frequency of taking films should always be based on the unique individual needs of each patient. For example:
Frequency of taking films based on:
1. Patient's oral hygiene
2. Caries activity
3. Dental history
4. Reliability of patient
5. ADA Guidelines:
Full-mouth series: 1 - 5 years. Depends on caries activity, perio problems, etc.
Bitewings: 6-months (youth with high caries rate) to 3 years (adult with good oral hygiene, minimum restorative needs).
Panoramic: 1 - 5 years. Depends on patient history
