unuseful dental x-ray



My dentist took films on my missing teeth which need bridges. He told me he
had to send the films to the dental insurance to prove that I did not have
teeth on that location. My understanding is that the radiation exposure I
received from this procedure is only for the insurance documentation
purpose. There is no other benifit at all. Can some one comment on this.
Thanks.
