Dental X-rays
Dental X-rays are essential tools in dentistry for several reasons
Diagnosis
Dental X-rays help your dentist identify dental issues or diseases. Dental Radiographs are essential for identifying cavities, gum disease, infections, and abnormalities not visible through a regular exam.
Treatment Planning
Teeth X-rays aid in planning treatments like tooth extractions, dental implants, orthodontic procedures, and root canal x-ray and therapies. They provide valuable information about the positioning and health of teeth beneath the gum line.
Monitoring
Your dentist, Dr. M. Paula Fedler can monitor the progression of dental conditions over time by comparing X-rays taken during different appointments. This Dental imaging is particularly useful for assessing the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.
Tooth Damage Detection & Dental X-Rays
Not all dental problems can be seen with the naked eye. That’s where X-rays come in. We use them to catch issues early, spot hidden damage, and make sure you get the right treatment.
Early tooth decay detection is one of the most important steps in preventing bigger problems later. Tiny cavities can hide between teeth or under the surface. A simple cavity X-ray helps us find these spots before they turn into painful infections.
If you’re dealing with deep pain, a root canal X-ray helps us check the tooth’s nerve and the area around the roots. It tells us if the pulp is infected, if there’s an abscess, or if a root canal is needed.
For people with pain in the back of their mouth or crowding issues, we may take an impacted tooth X-ray. This is often used to check wisdom teeth that haven’t come in properly. It helps us decide if they need to be removed.
A dental crack X-ray is used when you suspect a tooth is cracked but can’t see it. Cracks are sometimes hard to spot, but with the right angle and imaging, we can find them before they lead to bigger problems.
If you’ve had an accident or feel part of a tooth is missing, we’ll take a broken tooth X-ray to assess the damage. This helps us decide whether a filling, crown, or root canal is the best next step.
Dental X-rays are fast, safe, and give us a clear picture of what’s going on inside your mouth. If something feels off, we’ll find out exactly what it is — and Dental Faith help you fix it. Need an X-ray or a quick checkup? We’re ready when you are.
