Rather than relying on film placed inside the mouth, a panoramic x-ray machine projects a beam through the patient onto film or a detector rotating opposite the x-ray tube. The radiation records an image on photographic film or a special detector.ĭuring a panoramic x-ray examination, the x-ray tube rotates in a semicircle around the patient's head, starting at one side of the jaw and ending at the other side. The machine produces a small burst of radiation that passes through your body. The technologist carefully aims the x-ray beam at the area of interest. X-rays pass through most objects, including the body. We do this because there may be some other issues going on below the surface.X-rays are a form of radiation like light or radio waves. For example, if there is a visible filling on the tooth, we’ll take an X-Ray of the area before we just jump in and start filling the cavity. We need to know what we’re getting into before we start dental treatment. An X-Ray showing the tip of your tooth’s root could show us an infection before signs of that infection are visible to the naked eye.ĥ- Dental X-Rays let us examine the mouth before procedures There can be cases where you’ll feel some type of pain that feels like sinus pressure or something similar, but we wouldn’t be able to see anything on the surface of your mouth.

So, how about some context as to why we actually need to take Dental X-Raysġ- Identify decay between and within teethĭental X-Rays have the ability to see much more than what our doctor and hygienists can see with their eyes. So, much like we answered the question of, “ Do my kids really need dental sealants?” – we’re here today to do the same with X-Rays. “Do I really need to take these Dental X-Rays…? AGAIN…?”īut you’re probably just as satisfied with that answer as our patients who ask the question – not very satisfied. We get some version of the question about dental X-Rays at least once per day…
