Digital X-rays
At most regular check-ups, your dentist will take x-rays of your teeth and mouth. Digital x-rays are quick, safe and can allow your dental team to see oral abnormalities, like tumors, cysts, or bone loss, as well as decay, gum disease, and movement of teeth over time.
X-rays are not painful and will likely be taken once a year to get a closer look at any hidden issues with your teeth. This will help to find cavities and other issues. Your dental team will ask you about any health concerns prior to the low-dose x-ray.
Bi-annual check-ups, which include cleanings and x-rays are an important way of staying on task with your dental health. Good dental health is part of your overall health! These are just a sampling of the procedures your dentist may recommend you need.
