Do I really need x-rays?

Dentist and patient reviewing dental x-ray in Aston PAMany oral health can arise without any symptoms. X-rays allow our 19014 dentist to see into parts of the body that we cannot visually examine.

The Importance of Dental X-Rays

Early to moderate tooth decay generally has no symptoms and can occur between teeth where we can’t see them. Digital dental x-rays allow us to identify decay in these areas, which would not be possible without their use. We also use x-rays to check for possible infections around the roots of your teeth. Dental abscesses can develop without any symptoms and are usually not detectable without an x-ray.
