Ever wondered what an OPG actually is? 🦷👀
An OPG (orthopantomogram) is a panoramic dental X-ray that gives us a broad view of your teeth, jaw and surrounding structures.
They're particularly useful when assessing wisdom teeth, allowing your dentist to see how they're developing, their position and angulation, whether there's enough room for them to erupt and what structures they are close to.
Wisdom teeth are often assessed during ages 18- 25 but there isn't a set age or routine frequency for everyone. Your dentist will recommend an OPG when there's a clinical reason to do so.
And don't worry, it's quick and painless 😊
🎥 Follow along as we show you exactly what happens during an OPG.
