With healthy gums and pristine teeth, the need for X-rays to check deeper should be adequate at three- to five-year intervals. When all the crevices of molar teeth have been filled by sealants or covered with fillings or dental crowns, this prevents the dentist from being able to visually judge the health of your mouth, as the molar grooves have been eliminated. As a general rule of thumb, pristine teeth will need the fewest X-rays, and this is one reason I strongly oppose the use of sealants, as they increase the need for frequent X-ray assessment for the rest of your life. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

The authors of the study were unable to control for significant risk factors for the development of esophageal cancer such as alcohol consumption. Nor were other lifestyle considerations, such as smoking or dietary habits, taken into consideration. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

Experiment and find what works best for you. [2000] - Jay Abramham
