Uses For Dental X-Rays

Dental X-rays allow them to take a closer look at your teeth to find cavities and see how healthy the root of a tooth and the surrounding bone are. Dental X-rays can also help your dentist find impacted teeth and can be used to check the growth of the teeth and jaw.

Types Of X-Rays

You might need to have a set of X-rays taken for a few reasons.

Intraoral X-Rays

Intraoral X-rays are the most frequently used type by dentists, as they are essential for identifying issues related to the teeth and jaw. There are several varieties of intraoral X-rays, including bite-wing, periapical, and occlusal X-rays.

  • A bite-wing X-ray shows the upper and lower teeth of one area from the crown to the supporting bone.
  • A periapical X-ray shows the whole tooth
  • Occlusal X-ray is bigger and allows the dentist to see the full tooth development and placement in the jaw.

Extraoral X-Rays

  • Capture detailed views of your jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures.
