Learning More About Dental X-rays

Dr. Trang Pham

What are dental X-rays used for?

Dental X-rays are used to diagnose cavities, other dental conditions like periodontal disease, and abscesses. Sometimes, you can see crowding and spacing too.

What are the different types of dental X-rays?

We have our traditional ones like PAs and bitewings. Those are the ones where you sit down, and we use little rings and a sensor to capture the X-rays in your mouth. There's also one where you stand, and the machine captures a 3D image.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Perfectly safe.

Are dental X-rays expensive?

For what they can do? No, absolutely not.
