What Are Dental X-Rays?
Dental X-rays (also called radiographs) are images that help us view the structures inside your mouth, including teeth roots, bone levels, and surrounding tissues. They help detect problems that may not be visible during a standard visual exam.
There are different types of dental X-rays depending on what we need to examine:
- Bitewing X-rays: Show upper and lower back teeth and help spot decay between teeth
- Periapical X-rays: Focus on one or two teeth from root to crown
- Panoramic X-rays: Provide a broad view of the entire mouth, including jaw, sinuses, and wisdom teeth
- Occlusal X-rays: Show the roof or floor of the mouth to track development or abnormalities in children
