Caries detection - Dental X-Rays

Radiographic or x-ray examinations provide us with an important tool that shows the condition of your teeth, it's roots, jaw placement and the overall composition of your facial bones. X-rays can help determine the presence or degree of periodontal disease, abscesses and abnormal growths. They can pinpoint the location of cavities and other signs of disease that may not be possible to detect through a visual examination. New patients require a full set of x-rays to evaluate oral health status, including any underlying signs of gum disease and for future comparison. Follow- up patients may require x-rays to monitor their gum condition or their chance of tooth decay. We are sensitive to our patients concerns about exposure to radiation. Dr. Fey prescribes radiographs when they are appropriate, and tailors radiographic schedules to each person's needs. We use state-of-the-art technology and procedures to minimize your exposure to radiation.
