Dr. Kaur utilizes dental x-rays, which offer a glimpse beneath the surface of teeth and gums, revealing decay, infections, impacted teeth, bone loss, and various other oral issues. These images are crucial for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning. Rest assured, x-rays employ minimal radiation and are safe for patients of all ages. At Sapphire Dental Home, our priority is to ensure your comfort and safety during the x-ray process.
Why would you need dental x-rays?
At Sapphire Dental Home, dental x-rays become essential when a mere examination isn’t sufficient to reveal what’s happening beneath your gum line. They unveil underlying tooth decay, root infections, bone loss, and impacted wisdom teeth—issues invisible to the naked eye. Additionally, x-rays aid in monitoring the development and growth of permanent teeth in children. They provide invaluable insights for comprehensive dental care and treatment planning.
What makes someone a candidate for dental x-rays?
The majority of our patients are eligible for dental x-rays, as the radiation levels we use are minimal, rendering the process both safe and imperative for those visiting our practice. Nonetheless, we meticulously review your medical history before suggesting any x-ray procedure. This precaution ensures your overall health and suitability for undergoing radiation during your visit. Your well-being remains our top priority at all times.
What happens during the dental x-ray process?
At Sapphire Dental Home, our process for dental x-rays involves ensuring your comfort and safety at every step. A friendly team member will shield your midsection with a lead apron. Then, a small, comfortable device is positioned inside your mouth behind several teeth, while our x-ray machine captures the image. This procedure is repeated for all necessary x-rays. Subsequently, our team of experts meticulously reviews your x-rays to craft a personalized treatment plan. We often recommend regular x-rays at most appointments to maintain comprehensive oral health monitoring.
