FAQ about Fluoride
Dr. Heidi Stauffer is our only dentist at Stauffer Family Dental in Westerville, OH. She is the one that will decide which x-rays are indicated for each patient. We take as few as needed to treat and diagnose appropriately. We typically take cavity detecting x-rays every year and panoramic x-rays every 5 years. We adjust this as needed for different patient's needs.
Who will take my dental digital x-rays?
In the State of Ohio, you either need a dental license, a dental hygiene license or a radiography license to take x-rays. Therefore, Dr. Heidi having a dental license is able to take radiographs. Our three hygienists, Kim, Lauren and Jennelle, can take them because of their dental hygiene license. Lastly, our Expanded Functions Dental Auxillary, Tiffany holds a radiography license and went through special training in order to be able to take radiographs at our office in Westerville, OH.
Will insurance cover my dental x-rays?
As always, dental insurance is very complicated and every insurance varies. If there is radiograph coverage in your plan, typically cavity detecting x-rays(bitewings) are covered once a year and a full mouth or panoramic x-ray is covered once every 5 years. If you have questions about your specific plan and your coverage at Stauffer Family Dental, please call Kara, our office manager and insurance guru. She can help you figure out your coverage.
