Frequency of Radiographs
To assist with decisions regarding the frequency of taking radiographs, the American Dental Association developed guidelines to serve as an adjunct to the oral health professional’s judgment of how to best use diagnostic imaging for each patient.1 They provide recommendations for prescribing dental radiographs after reviewing the patient’s health history, completing a clinical examination, and following the ALARA principle (“as low as reasonably achievable”).
