Dental X-rays are usually done every year.
They may be performed more frequently if your Melbourne CBD dentist is monitoring the development of an existing dental problem or procedure.
The factors that may affect the frequency you undergo dental X-rays include:
Young patients may need dental X-rays more often than adults since their dentists might require keeping track of their permanent (adult) teeth.
The size of your mouth is also a factor. If you have a small mouth, placing the sensor becomes a little more challenging. Taking X-rays should never be painful.
If you have a sensitive gag reflex, you may want to let your dental technician know ahead of time.
There are things they can do to help prevent gag reflex while taking the X-ray. Children are especially prone to gag reflexes and have a hard time with dental X-rays.
Once your X-ray session is completed, your X-rays will be examined by your Melbourne CBD dentist.

Dental X-rays are an important part of a complete program of oral hygiene. Depending on your age and risk of tooth decay, receive dental X-rays based on your dentist’s recommendations. If you do not adhere to your dentist’s recommendations, you could miss an opportunity to spot and treat tooth decay before it becomes a bigger problem. Early detection will save you time, money and pain.
