Dental issues?

Hi,

Recently went to the dentist and he took a few x-rays. Why do they do this? She then asked me about my medical history - to which i said I said I had nothing. What sort of things was she looking for when asking about my history? I ended up having a small filling

Review of your past medical history is critical in today,s dental practice, it can avoid jeopardizing your general health via dental treatment. X-ray helps dentist identify hard tissue lesion which can not be seen by eyes.your dentist,s practice certainly meets current standard of care.
