Cleanings & Prevention
Dental X-Rays
Dental radiographs (x-rays) are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists 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:
-
Decay between the teeth.
-
Abscesses or cysts.
-
Bone loss.
-
Problems inside a tooth or below the gum line.
-
Developmental abnormalities.
-
Poor tooth and root positions.
-
Cancerous and non-cancerous tumors.
Detecting and treating dental problems at an early stage can save you time, money, unnecessary discomfort, and your teeth!
