Dental X-ray
Dental X-rays are taken by the dentist to see detailed images of specific parts of the mouth. Traditional x-ray film is developed in a darkroom, while more modern techniques allow x-ray images to be sent to a computer and displayed on a computer screen.
Different types of dental x-rays should be available:
- Bitewing
This X-ray allows the dentist to study the crowns of the teeth in the lower and upper jaw. Such photos should be taken once a year.
- Periapical
The dentist can see the entire tooth and the surrounding bone.
Dental Health Tips:
