Digital X-Rays
Older patients might remember having to wait for X-rays to be developed in a separate dark room and being worried about the levels of radiation that they were being exposed to. Digital X-rays have changed all of that; now we can develop the images instantly and begin examining them right away, and much less radiation is involved with the entire process. We can also enhance a digital X-ray to examine worrisome aspects of the mouth more closely.
Dental X-rays may reveal:
Abscesses or cysts.
Bone loss.
Cancerous and non-cancerous tumors.
Decay between the teeth.
Developmental abnormalities.
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 teeth!
