Dental X-ray

Dental X-rays are considered safe as they involve minimal radiation exposure. At Microdent Dentistry, we use modern digital X-ray technology that further reduces radiation exposure compared to traditional methods.

Dental X-rays are essential for detecting dental issues not visible to the naked eye, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, infections, and impacted teeth. They help our dentists provide accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.

The frequency of dental X-rays depends on your oral health status, age, and risk factors for dental diseases. Typically, new patients may require X-rays to establish a baseline, and thereafter, they are recommended periodically based on individual needs.

During a dental X-ray, you will be asked to wear a protective apron and collar to minimize radiation exposure. Our trained dental professionals will position the X-ray equipment precisely to capture clear images of your teeth and jaw.

Generally, no special preparation is needed before a dental X-ray. However, inform your dentist about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or if you are pregnant. We take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety and comfort during the procedure.

The results of your dental X-ray are usually available shortly after the images are captured. Our dentists will review the X-rays with you during your appointment, explaining any findings and discussing the recommended treatment options.
