The picture the dentist takes
with his x-ray machine is one
of the most essential tools he
has in treating dental problems.
It is always used with the greatest
concern for your safety. In
fact, the exposure takes less
than a second and is less than
you receive from everyday living
from the rays of the sun or
from natural radiation in rocks
and other materials.
It's the x-ray picture that
reveals hidden cavities or early
signs of gum disease. It can also
save a life by detecting certain
kinds of oral cancer in its early
stages, when it's curable.
Without his x-ray machine,
the dentist would not be able to
spot a cavity that may be lurking,
under an old filling. Unnoticed,
it may destroy the pulp
of the tooth causing severe pain.
By then it might be too late to
save the tooth.
The x-ray is a super sleuth. It
can apprehend abscessed teeth and
the culprits, such as extra teeth,
crooked roots, and broken root tips
or damaged bone structure.
