They bother me, no matter what kind.
Is there a real reason for having it done, or is just their standard
procedure? Few are actually necessary. Can you find a dentist who is
actually knowledgeable about the dangers of x-rays?

Panoramic is still x-ray, as are cat, pet, sonograms (often called
ultrasound, but it not the same thing), and something I'm forgetting.

Here, one I had, I just signed a refusal every time they wanted
them, "just for their records".
Finally found a dentist who doesn't use them just for the heck of it,
like most do.

20 xrays a year? Outrageous lie. 1 is harmful, they cause genetic
damage everytime you have one.
