"If you don't see it, it doesn't mean it does not exist."I often get asked about the need for X-rays for patients. A complete series of X-rays (FMX) is necessary for new patients to detect cavities, bone infection, bone loss, and other hidden conditions. These are usually taken every 5 years. For established patients, a small set of X-rays (4 Bws, 2 PA) should be taken annually to check for cavities and bone levels. The frequency of the small set depends on the individual's risk of cavities, ranging from every 6 months to up to 2 years. Below is an example of suspected cavities due to slight color changes in the tooth enamel, which were confirmed by an X-ray.

I absolutely love it. 🦷 Here are a few of the composite restorations I've done.

🤓 Did you know that parrot fish produce pure sand from the corals they eat? It's incredible how their teeth remain intact despite the tough diet. There's actually some fascinating science behind it all! 🦷
