I get my teeth cleaned twice a year. Once a year we do the bite wing x-rays. The amount of radiation you’re exposed to is very minor.

Pretty sure insurance only covers 1x every 5 years. You don't need it annually unless there's some sort of problem they have to monitor.

For what it's worth, mine covers basic x-rays every year and then the extensive set every three years.

I had this concern and talked about it with a buddy who is an xray tech. The radiation is pretty low for a quick image like one you would have at the dentist, it's comparable to a few days of radiation exposure that you would get from just living your day to day life. MRIs/CAT scans are what people should be cautious about, this is a LOT of radiation, comparable to hundreds/thousands of xrays at once.

CATscan is a lot of radiation, yes. MRI is not radiation
