Dental X-rays (radiographs) are diagnostic tools that require low radiation levels to create images depicting the internal structures of the teeth, bones, and tissues surrounding them, which are not visible during a routine clinical examination.
Indications
- Hidden Decay : The ability to identify cavities in the parts of the mouth that cannot be seen, especially minor lesions or decay that develops between teeth or under established fillings.
- Bone Health : Evaluating the degree of bone loss in the mouth area is a key indicator and measure of periodontal (gum) disease.
- Treatment Planning : Assessing the location of teeth, roots, nerves, and jaw alignment in complex treatment of teeth, such as implants, root canals or orthodontics.
Effects
- Early and Accurate Diagnosis : This enables the identification of issues such as abscesses, root infections, cysts, or unerupted (impacted) teeth at an early stage, allowing for prompt treatment.
- Preventive Intervention : X-rays can be used to prevent minor decay from turning into severe infections by identifying them in their early stages before costly and invasive treatments such as extractions are required.
- Comprehensive View : It provides a detailed view of the entire oral structure (jaws, sinuses, and nerves), which is necessary to monitor the progress of teeth in children and to assess the effectiveness of previous treatments.
