Dental X-rays are diagnostic images that help dentists assess oral health by revealing issues not visible during a regular exam. They assist in detecting cavities, gum disease, and other dental conditions.

Dental x rays/radiographs are the best tool to rule out dental problems via dental caries/ cavities, wisdom tooth placement and many more hidden dental structures with any abnormalities.

There are two main types of dental X-rays: intraoral (the X-ray film is inside the mouth) and extraoral (the X-ray film is outside the mouth).

Intraoral X-rays are the most common type of X-ray. There are several types of intraoral X-rays. Each shows different aspects of teeth.

Extraoral X-rays are used to detect dental problems in the jaw and skull. There are several types of extraoral X-rays.
