Dental Xray
Understanding Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays are a diagnostic imaging tool that uses low levels of radiation to capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. These images help dentists identify issues such as cavities, gum disease, impacted teeth, and bone loss, often detecting conditions that may not show visible symptoms. By identifying underlying dental problems early, dental X-rays allow for timely treatment and help prevent more serious issues from developing.
Why You May Need a Dental X-Ray
At Strand Dental Centre, we may recommend a dental X-ray if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms or conditions:
- Persistent Toothache or Sensitivity: Tooth pain or sensitivity can indicate an underlying issue like decay or infection. A dental X-ray helps pinpoint the cause and determine the appropriate treatment.
- Jaw Pain or Swelling: Jaw discomfort or swelling may signal problems such as impacted teeth, infection, or even oral cancer. X-rays can help identify the source and guide effective treatment.
- History of Dental Problems: If you’ve had previous issues like cavities or gum disease, regular X-rays can detect new or recurring problems, preventing them from worsening.
- Orthodontic Treatment: Dental X-rays are essential for assessing the alignment of your teeth and jaws, helping to create a personalized orthodontic treatment plan for the best results.
- Preparing for Dental Implants or Oral Surgery: If you’re undergoing surgery or preparing for dental implants, X-rays help determine the best approach and ensure a safe, effective procedure by providing precise images of your dental structures.
