Dental X-Ray

Dental X-rays 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 interior of your teeth and gums. They are considered safe and only emit minimal amounts of radiation.

This can help your dentist to identify problems. According to the ADA, many diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissues cannot be seen when your dentist examines your mouth without X-rays. An X-ray may reveal:

  • See if familial dental anomalies are present
  • Find cavities between and on the teeth
  • Check on previous endodontic treatments
  • Determine the cause of oral swelling
  • Evaluate injuries to the teeth after trauma
  • Evaluate the health of the alveolar bone
  • Determine how many teeth are present in the mouth
  • Determine the impact of teeth that may be unerupted
  • Determine if unerupted teeth are missing
  • Find if teeth have bone loss or periodontal disease
  • Visualize teeth that are impacted.

A check-up every six months is recommended in order prevent cavities and other dental problems. However, your pediatric dentist near me can tell you when and how often your child should visit based on their personal oral health.

Since X-rays expose children to radiation, many parents are worried about the risk of conditions like cancer. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry reassures parents that the amount of radiation that's received during a dental X-ray is extremely small. Today's X-ray equipment lets dentists focus the X-ray beam on the area of interest to reduce radiation exposure. Protective equipment like lead body aprons and shields also keep your child safe during their procedure. Call us at 561-333 4568 to schedule an appointment.
