Why do I need to get X-rays done?

Great question! A dentist can’t see everything an X-ray can during an examination. Here are some of the dental problems x-rays tell your dentist:

X-rays spot issues in-between teeth like tooth decay and can see problems under any existing fillings
Show infections in the bone and periodontal (gum) disease
Spot any abscesses, cysts, and more

Our dentists will evaluate your need for X-rays based on the conditions present during your exam.
