Why your dentist needs X-RAY from your teeth?
X-RAYS help your dentist look at parts of the mouth that cannot be seen during a regular examination. For example:
1. an infection in your tooth or tooth root
2. cavities between teeth or under fillings
3. trouble with teeth or jaw development in children and teens who are getting their permanent teeth
4. jaw problems, including infections and fractures, or problems with the way teeth will fit together
5. bone loss from severe gum disease
