Why Are Dental X-Rays Important?
Dental X-Rays, or radiographs, are a vital tool in modern dentistry. They allow Rosemont Dental Center professionals to view structures not visible to the naked eye, ensuring comprehensive dental care.
What Do Dental X-Rays Reveal?
Dental X-Rays provide a detailed image of your teeth, bones, and surrounding tissues. They can reveal:
- Hidden dental decay.
- Bone loss due to gum disease.
- Developmental abnormalities.
- Incorrect tooth root positions.
- Cysts, tumors, and abscesses. By identifying these issues early, we can provide timely and effective treatments, such as dental fillings or root canals.
Are Dental X-Rays Safe?
Absolutely. At Rosemont Dental Center, we use advanced digital X-Ray technology, which emits minimal radiation. It's a safe and efficient method to gain a comprehensive understanding of your oral health.
How Often Should You Get Dental X-Rays?
The frequency of dental X-Rays depends on your individual dental health needs. For new patients, we might recommend X-Rays to determine the present status of your oral health. Regular patients might need them every 6-12 months, or as required based on dental concerns.
