Intra Oral X-Ray
Dental x-rays are very common diagnostic tools used by dentists to understand the internal structure of teeth and jaws. These are radiographic images of teeth that the dentist uses to assess your oral health. Dental x-rays are very useful for dentists to spot out dental problems such as cavities, tooth decay, impacted teeth, and other jaw problems.
Certain dental problems which are not visible during routine dental checkups can be identified using dental x-rays. Dentists use these images to detect and confirm hidden dental problems and draft the most effective treatment plan.
There are two main types of dental x-rays:
-
Intra-oral (The X-Ray Film Is Inside The Mouth)
Out of the two types of dental x-rays, Intraoral x-rays are the most common type of radiograph taken in dentistry. Types of Intraoral x-rays commonly used by dentists are Periapical x-rays (IOPA Xrays), Bitewing x-rays and Occlusal x-rays. -
Extra-oral (The X-Ray Film Is Outside The Mouth)
Extra-oral x-rays are used to detect dental problems in the jaw and skull. There are several types of extra-oral x-rays (panoramic x-rays, cephalograms, etc.). Panoramic x-rays show the entire mouth area — all the teeth in upper and lower jaws — on a single x-ray
Even if there are no specific dental problems, dental x-rays are typically performed yearly during an annual dental checkup to confirm oral health. the frequency of dental x-rays may increase during certain procedures like RCT’S etc. They require no special preparation and can be done in between a dental procedure without anesthesia or pain.
