Digital x-rays are a great way for Dr. Rice and her team to
determine if there are problems with your smile below the gum line. There are
multiple problems that can occur in the mouth that cannot be seen by the naked
eye. The only way for problems below the gum line to be diagnosed and treated
is with an x-ray.
Digital x-rays machines go the extra mile and expose you to
less radiation then dental x-ray machines of the past. We are all exposed each
day to some type of radiation, but digital x-rays take less time, emit less
radiation and allow for better accuracy. These three positives allow you to get
an x-ray without having to worry about exposure.
Digital x-rays can allow your periodontist to identify and
treat cancerous and noncancerous tumors that otherwise would go untreated. When
you visit the periodontist and they conduct a thorough exam, there is only one
way to see what is going on below the gums. This requires a machine that can
look through the tissue. The earlier problems are detected the sooner they can
be taken care of.
Each tooth has a root and that means you may feel
sensitivity when eating or drinking certain foods. This sensitivity is
sometimes caused by problems with the root position. An x-ray allows Dr. Denine
Rice and you to come up with a plan in order to solve the problem.
