Dental X-rays Are Critical
Digital dental radiology is an important tool in diagnosing and treating oral and dental disease. Without dental radiographs, dental problems (infections) can be missed. Dental radiographs help aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, monitoring treatment and post operative treatment success.
Digital dental radiographs are used to view the dental tissues and supporting structures for the teeth. They are also used to identify problems with the crowns of the teeth, facial and jaw bones as well as the nasal cavity. They are useful for evaluating the crown and roots of teeth as well as the supporting bone and soft tissue.
High definition intra oral digital radiographs provide exceptionally clear pictures for better diagnosis and use approximately 90% less than the usual dosage of radiation. Additionally, intra oral digital radiographs require less time to produce quality films, thus decreasing the time that your pet is under anesthesia.
Dental radiography is a very important diagnostic tool used in our practice.
