A regular dental examination performed by a professional dentist through manual methods do not always detect the hidden disorders that might be responsible for any inherent dental health complication.

That’s why Dental X-rays or dental radiographs play a vitally important role that serves as an essential, diagnostic tool to provide valuable information not visible during a manual dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this specialized information to safely pinpoint hidden dental abnormalities and complete an adequate treatment plan. Without a necessary x-ray, the hidden dental problem might stay undetected.

A dental X-ray when performed properly can help detect –

• Cysts
• Bone loss
• Cancerous and non-cancerious tumors
• Teeth decay
• Development abnormalities
• Poor root position
• Poor tooth position
• Problems under the gum line

These are just a few of the some abnormalities that can be detected using a dental X-ray. Detecting and treating dental disorder at early stage can help you save time, money, effort in the long run.

Do you have this question before a dental scheduled dental X-ray?

Are dental X-rays safe?

This is a valid question to ask, but you should be completely at peace knowing that the exposure of a full mouth x-ray is equal to the amount of radiation a human receives from natural sources in a single day. The amount of dental x-ray radiation is considered to be safe. Add to this, dentists take a number of precautionary measures to ensure the safety benchmarks before performing an X-ray such as using a lead apron shield to safeguard the body, and using fast films that reduces the exposure time of radiation.
