What is a dental X-ray and when is it worth having one?
A dental X-ray, or periapical X-ray, is a non-invasive imaging examination that allows for the assessment of a single tooth or a small area of the oral cavity. It is essential in the diagnosis of caries, inflammation, fractures, periapical lesions, and before starting root canal or prosthetic treatment. A dental X-ray also enables monitoring treatment effectiveness and detecting problems that do not yet show clinical symptoms.
Who should benefit from a dental X-ray?
A dental X-ray is recommended for every patient experiencing pain, swelling, suspected caries, tooth injury, or the need to assess the effectiveness of endodontic treatment. The examination is also performed before placing a crown, bridge, or implant, or during a follow-up after root canal treatment. Periapical X-rays are also a standard in the diagnostics of children and adolescents, allowing for the assessment of tooth bud development and detection of any abnormalities.
What does a dental X-ray procedure look like?
01
Preparation
The examination is quick, painless, and requires no preparation. The patient sits in a chair, and the technician places a special film or digital sensor in the mouth near the tooth being examined.
02
Performing the scan
Then the X-ray machine performs a short radiation exposure, recording the image of the tooth structures, root, and surrounding tissues. The entire process takes just a few minutes, and the result in the form of a digital image is available immediately and can be analyzed by the doctor on a computer screen.
