Dental X-Rays, Coquitlam
Dental x-rays are an integral part of the management and treatment of the dental patient.
They allow the dentist access to areas between and inside the teeth, under the gums and in the jawbones. These are areas that are inaccessible to the naked eye. This permits the dentist to properly diagnose and treat any abnormalities detected by x-rays.
Periapicals
Bitewings
Panoramic X-rays
The largest of the three types of x-rays. They show all the upper and lower teeth and jaws, as well as the sinuses in one x-ray. These x-rays are used I the treatment of wisdom teeth, diagnoses of disease and abnormalities in the jawbone, the placement of dental implants, and are a useful tool in the treatment of gum disease.
The frequency at which x-rays are taken depend on age, disease susceptibility and symptoms. Children may require x-rays more frequently than adults due to continuing jaw development and a higher risk of cavities. It is advisable to consult the dentist to determine each patient’s need for x-rays.
