Re: Do I really need full mouth X-Rays?

Yes, you should be able to count how many teeth you have from the average
Panorex film.
My full mouth series is 20 pictures. If your dentist has digital x-ray
devices, the radiation from 20 exposures is about what you would get with
4-8 exposures on film.

My new dentist wants to do full mouth x-rays (I think he said 17 of
them!). Is this really necessary? I have healthy teeth, am young, 28 and
have no history of teeth problems. I think I had fully mouth xrays done
several years ago but I'm wanting to limit my exposure to radiation at
this juncture.
Any thoughts?
