It is important that when you have a mammogram you also have any prior images with you so the radiologist (X ray Doctor) can compare them to see if the calcifications were present on your prior exam or if they are new. Some calcifications require further imaging if they look questionable.

What is calcification of the Breast?
Breast calcifications are small areas of calcium in the breast that cannot be felt, and are only detected on a breast mammogram. They are very common and in most cases harmless. There are two types: Macro-calcifications, which are harmless and need no treatment or monitoring, and Micro-calcifications, which are usually found in an area in which cells are dividing quickly. They are usually harmless, but if found in a cluster in one area, can be a sign of pre-cancerous changes in the breast and further medical tests will be necessary.
