Procedures

At the Dental Health Center we use digital x-rays.  Please see the category "Digital X-rays" for more information on this type of x-ray. 

How often should dental x-rays be taken?

The need for dental x-rays depends on each patient’s individual dental health needs.  Dr. Manlove and the dental hygienist will recommend necessary x-rays based on the review of your medical and dental history, dental exam, signs and symptoms, age consideration, and risk for disease.

A full mouth series of dental x-rays is recommended for all new patients so that we may then be able to serve you better. A full series is usually good for three to five years.  Bite-wing x-rays (x-rays of top and bottom teeth biting together) are taken at recall (check-up) visits and are recommended once or twice a year to detect new dental problems.

Dr. Manlove has been my dentist for quite a while now and her Staff is pleasant, the hygienist are polite and good at what they do, and just as important, they keep very close to their appointment schedule. I think rarely have I ever been there more than an hour unless I just had a problem. I highly recommend this office for your dental needs.

I’m sharing on behalf of my mom. She is an elderly lady who was extremely nervous. Everyone made her feel comfortable. Dr. Manlove listen so respectfully to her concerns, made her feel comfortable, and encouraged her during the appointment.
