X-Ray

X-ray captures the images of teeth. The dentists use it to evaluate the condition of your oral health. X-rays are essential to viewing the interior of your teeth and gums. It is a key tool that the dentist uses to identify issues such as cavities, tooth decay, and damaged teeth. Dental X-rays are a common tool. The children get X-rays more often than adults as the dentist needs to monitor the growth of their adult teeth.

While the X-ray involve radiation, the levels are so low that it poses no health risk. It is safe for both children and adults. If your dentist is using a digital X-ray, the risk of radiation is even lower. The patient sits in a chair and the X-ray machine is adjusted well to record the images of the inside of your mouth. There are different types of X-ray to record different views of your mouth such as Bitewing to check cavities, Occlusal to see upper and bottom teeth, and Panoramic to check wisdom teeth.
