Ever wonder why we take X-rays of your teeth at your dental appointment? Dental X-rays allow us to see between and inside your teeth. They not only help us see the condition of your teeth, but also the roots, jaw placement, and facial bone composition. X-rays can detect issues such as small areas of decay between your teeth, decay beneath fillings, cysts and other types of tumors, bone loss in the jaw from periodontal disease, abscesses, and more! The next time we ask you for dental X-rays, know that we are taking "X-tra" precautions to rule out dental problems before they become too serious or advanced.
