FMX
Also called full mouth series, FMS, full mouth X-rays
A full set of X-rays of every tooth and the supporting bone, taken at a new patient visit and every few years after.
FMX stands for full mouth X-rays, a set that usually combines close-up images of every tooth and its root with bitewings. It gives the dentist a complete look at tooth roots and bone. Offices often take one for new patients and repeat it every few years, depending on the patient's needs. Many insurance plans cover it only once in a multi-year period, so check previous records first.
Example at the front desk
Her last FMX was three years ago, so I booked a new set with the exam.
