The Importance of Dental X-Rays

Dental x-rays provide us with the details we need to properly care for your teeth and gums, as well as the supporting bones and tissue in your mouth.

When oral health issues develop that are not visible to the naked eye, X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool. They can also be used preventively to help us diagnose potential issues early on before they advance to becoming major problems – like the ones listed below.

• Detect cavities early on
• Evaluate your level of tooth decay
• Reveal and measure any bone loss
• Help diagnose gum disease
• Monitor the development of impacted or unerupted teeth
• Uncover abnormal growths or masses
