Digital X-Rays Can Reveal The Unseen Dental Problems In Your Mouth

Digital x-rays are a necessity when other diagnostic methods can’t provide important details that can’t be seen during a typical dental exam. Gee Cosmetic and Family Dentistry utilizes X-rays and their results, to carefully  identify and accurately diagnose hidden problems to provide the exact treatment required. Without the use of these X-rays, it would be impossible to spot problems within the mouth.

What Dental X-Rays Can Show?

• Swelling Or Abscess.
• Loss of bones.
• Malignant and benign tumors.
• Decay between the teeth.
• Deformities in development.
• Poor tooth and root placement.
• Problems within a tooth and beneath the gum line.

By identifying problems early we are able to save you time and money.

Are Dental X-Rays Safe?

Dental x-rays are not only safe but also effective.  The exposure to radiation from a set of x-rays is equivalent to the amount of radiation a person gets during the day from different natural sources.

Dental X-rays are harmless because the intensity of radiation generated is minimal. Essential safety measures are acquired by our dentist to ensure and minimize the vulnerability of the patient to radiation during the process of undergoing dental x-rays. These preventive measures require the following:

• Making use of lead apron shields to keep the body covered and protected.
• Utilizing the latest quick x-ray film to trim down the exposure time to the x-ray.
