Dental x-rays are essential to find dental decay, examine gum health, and find potential issues at their earliest stages
Dental Decay
To look for dental decay in between teeth that cannot be seen by looking in the mouth until the decay is very large.
Gum and Bone Health
To visualize the health of the bone that surrounds the tooth and to detect harmful bone loss caused by gum disease.
Nerve Issues
To detect problems with the nerve of your tooth that could become very painful if untreated
To Find Problems at the Earliest Stage
To find dental decay in its early stages. When dental decay or cavities are discovered sooner, more conservative treatment can be performed which dramatically reduces the time and cost of treatment.
