Dental x-rays
Flouride in all our toothpaste is excellent at reducing decay - no question! But it also makes any decay that does develop more hidden and difficult to recognise than in years gone by, so as a result regular dental x-rays are now an essential part of good dental care.
Because of this hidden nature of dental decay, we usually need to take dental x-rays to look for decay and other disease. These usually need to be retaken every 1 to 3 years depending on your decay risk.
Anyone who has not received dental x-rays in the past few years, may be overdue - otherwise when a cavity is finally discovered . . . it may be quite large.
Here is an example of a dental x-ray, which
