How Often Should You Have Dental X-Rays?

The frequency depends on your age, oral health, and risk factors: Children & Teens: May need X-rays more often to monitor tooth development and detect cavities early. Adults with Good Oral Health: Usually every 1–2 years. Patients with Gum Disease, Decay, or High Risk Factors: May need them more frequently. At Stonebrook Family Dental in Aurora, CO, we personalize X-ray schedules to each patient, ensuring you get the right balance of preventive care and safety.
