dental radiography

Dental radiography involves using special imaging technology, such as X-rays, to create detailed pictures of the teeth, roots, jawbone, and surrounding tissues. These images help dentists detect issues not visible during a regular exam, like cavities, infections, or bone loss. The process typically involves positioning a small sensor or film inside the mouth or outside nearby, then taking a quick X-ray. Modern digital imaging reduces radiation exposure and provides clear visualizations, aiding in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning while ensuring patient safety.
