Question Re: Weird Mammogram Report

In theory, if I was 40 yrs old and went for my baseline mammogram and everything was fine and had no other risk factors or history of breast cancer other than having heterogeneously dense breasts, would I still need to be aware and try to get an ultrasound and/or MRI?

Or do the doctors pay attention only when your birads score is 3 or above? If you get a birads score of 2 or lower does that still mean some cancers are still missed?
