WHY do you need DENTAL X-RAY? 

Dental X-rays (Radio graphs) are images of your teeth that your dentist uses to evaluate your oral health. These X-rays are used with low levels of radiation to capture images of the inside of your teeth and gums. This can help your dentist to identify problems, like tooth decay, impacted teeth and bone conditions.

What Problems Can Dental X-Rays Detect?

In adults, dental X-rays can be used to:

• Show areas of decay that may not be visible with an oral exam, especially small areas of decay between teeth.
• 
• Identify tooth decay after filling which is called secondary dental caries.
• 
• Reveal bone loss that accompanies gum disease.
• 
• Reveal changes in the bone or in the root canal resulting from infection.

• Assist in the preparation of tooth implants, braces, dentures, or other dental procedures.
• 

• Reveal an abscess (an infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and a tooth).
• 
• Determine if there is enough space in the mouth to fit all incoming teeth.

• Check for the development of wisdom teeth and identify if the teeth are impacted (unable to emerge through the gums).
• 
• Reveal other developmental abnormalities, such as cysts and some types of tumors. 
• 
  In children, dental X-rays are used to:

• Watch for decay.
• Determine if there is enough space in the mouth to fit all incoming teeth.
• Determine if primary teeth are being lost quickly enough to allow permanent teeth to come in properly
• 
• Reveal other developmental abnormalities, such as cysts and some types of tumors.

Children may need to have dental X-rays more often than adults because their dentists might need to monitor the growth of their adult teeth. This is important because it can help the dentist determine if baby teeth need to be pulled to prevent complications, such as adult teeth growing in behind milk teeth.

Types of Dental X-Rays:

Note: Pregnancy is an exception to the rule. Women who are pregnant or 

believe they maybe pregnant should avoid all types of X-rays. 

Tell your dentist if you believe you are pregnant, because radiation is not 

considered safe for developing fetuses.

To conclude, Dental x-ray play an integral role in diagnosis and 

treatment planning of oral health problems.
