Dental X-rays

Dental X-rays in Nashville

A Dental X-ray is a medical imaging technique commonly used by dentists to visualize the structures inside the mouth, including teeth, gums, and jawbones. It involves the use of low levels of ionizing radiation to create detailed images of the oral and dental structures, allowing dentists to diagnose various dental issues and plan appropriate treatments.

They can also find dental problems early on, which can help Dr. M. Paula Fedler treat any dental issues or diseases early to then save you money or any discomfort you may be experiencing.

Dental X-rays are essential tools in dentistry for several reasons

Diagnosis

Dental X-rays help your dentist identify dental issues or diseases such as cavities, gum disease, infections, and abnormalities in tooth alignment or growth that may not be visible through a regular clinical examination.

Treatment Planning

Dental X-rays aid in planning treatments like tooth extractions, dental implants, orthodontic procedures, and root canal 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 is particularly useful for assessing the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.
