Dental radiographs (x-rays) are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
Dental x-rays may reveal:
•Abscesses
•Bone loss
•Decay between the teeth
•Poor tooth and root positions
•Problems inside a tooth or below the gum line
•Detecting and treating dental problems at an early stage can save you time, money, unnecessary discomfort and your smile!
