How many x-rays are too many for the teeth?!
Question: Over the course of 5 months Ive had two knee x-rays and an MRI. Than I had two chest x-rays. Now I need some dental x-rays and will need some more in about a month. How many is too many? Will this amount of dental x-rays weaken the roots of the teeth. I have some teeth that went though childhood trauma so I dont want to weaken my roots but I need a checkup. Any thoughts?

Excellent question. Often ignored by most medical personnel.
See if you can talk with the Dentist, and explain the problem. After much searching and my Doctors orders on limiting XRays
I have a Podiatrist and a Dentist willing to work without XRay, unless I have a complaint and they are absolutely necessary. I have become sensitive and the skin itches and burns after XRay's MRI 's do not contain radiation. Best of luck
They don
