Why do I need x-rays?
Dental X-rays detect problems or damage to your teeth and gums that are not visible to the naked eye, including:
- The condition of your teeth and roots
- Jaw placement and structure of facial bones
- Small cavities hiding between teeth or below fillings and crowns
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Infections in the bone
- Abscesses or cysts
- Developmental abnormalities
- Some types of tumors
- The exact location of impacted teeth and teeth not yet fully developed
The advantage to you is that x-rays allow dental problems to be found and treated at an early stage, saving you time, money and unnecessary pain. Call Yahara Dental to schedule your preventative exam.
