- gurjeet 3mo agoI didn't know that. I feel somewhat vindicated :-) I'll cite the ADA guidelines next time they insist. edit: link to the latest ADA recommendation on x-rays. https://www.ada.org/about/press-releases/new-recommendations-confirm-dental-x-rays-most-effectively-used-in-moderation https://www.ada.org/about/press-releases/new-recommendations... > You wouldn’t get an X-ray of another part of your body unless the doctor believed there was reason to order one after an examination. Similarly, dental X-rays should be ordered only after first examining the patient’s medical and dental histories, prior X-ray images, and current clinical exam findings.
