Providing quality dental care is much easier for dentists when they have extensive, comprehensive information about their patients’ oral health. Pictures are more accurate than written notes, so to go a step further we take pictures that show what’s going on below the visible surface of your teeth. These images are worth more than a thousand words, so along with a thorough visual examination, most dentists will take complete and up-to-date X-rays in order to understand whats going on.
Why is an X-Ray in Oceanside Important?
The frequency of X-rays is largely determined by your age as well as the state of your oral health. Because children are growing and they experience more changes to their teeth, they usually need X-rays more frequently. An X-ray in Oceanside also helps dentists find cavities, assess gum health, and identify any major changes to your teeth and mouth.
Safety First
Safety is an important issue Dr. Dankworth considers when ordering X-rays in Oceanside because low levels of radiation are used to obtain the images. Many vital precautions are taken to limit exposure, such as putting leaded aprons and collars on our patients. It is crucial that women inform their dentist if they are pregnant because special considerations should be taken.
