Q.
How often should x-ray be used during routine check-ups? I have been going to my current dentist for 15 years for 6 monthly checks with cleaning and polishing. He asks me if I have any problems (which I dont at present) but I have a lot of very old fillings, some I reckon over 40 years! I cant remember the last time my teeth were xrayed, should I request this next time? Many thanks,
