Dental Health Topics

Radiographs are the X-Ray pictures that are taken of your mouth in the dental office. These pictures allow your dentist to see what is happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums.

• A radiograph can help your dentist see:
• Tumors
• Small areas of decay between teeth
• Infections in the bone
• Gum (periodontal) disease
• Abcesses
• Cysts
• Developmental Abnormalities

The information provided by radiographs will help your dentist evaluate your overall oral health.
