Dental x-rays are required before a dental procedure can be performed. The reason is because there are underlying problems that may be present or there could be issues deep in the bone. If a dentist does not take x-rays, then they do not know what the true problem is. Yes, they may be able to see a cavity, but they cannot see how far down it extends and whether a root canal is needed without the x-ray. X-rays help to prevent unnecessary procedures from being performed and they are considered to be safe overall and expose you to little radiation in the process.
