Modern dental radiology
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Yesterday I received an invitation from your dental assistant to come in for a check-up of the implant (probably its integration with the jawbone), which can only be seen on an X-ray. In this context, I would like to know how the frequency of X-rays (especially dental X-rays, because part of the head is also imaged) can affect the patient's health. And one more thing: is this X-ray included in the price of the implant, or does it have to be paid for separately?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Dear Sir/Madam!
The harmful effect of this type of X-ray is negligible, and the information obtained certainly outweighs the negative effect. The dose is 0.0014 mSv, which is equivalent to one day's exposure to cosmic radiation (a day spent on holiday). In this case, the X-ray (follow-up check) is free of charge and is intended exclusively for your benefit.
Have a nice day!
