Overview
Dental X-ray examinations
provide valuable information that your
dentist could not collect otherwise.
With the help of radiographs (the proper
term for pictures taken with X-rays),
your dentist can look at what is happening
beneath the visible oral tissues. They
pose a far smaller risk than many undetected
and untreated dental problems. If you
have questions about your dental X-ray
exam, talk with your dentist.
