Dental X-ray Ok After Fraxel?

Question

I need to get a dental x-ray 3 weeks post fraxel restore treatment. I have had a basal cell removed in this area before and I don't want to put my self at increased risk for a repccurance. Will a the radiation from a dental x-ray put my healing skin at risk for further cancers? I have a tooth that needs work and I can not avoid an x- ray in the near future.

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

The dental xrays penetrate deeper than the effect of the Fraxel laser for resurfacing of scars or wrinkles, so there should be no contraindicaiton to having such x-rays before or after the Fraxel laser.
