Dental x-rays are images of your teeth that allow the dentist to evaluate your health beyond what can be seen with the naked eye or felt by a dental examination. Dental x-rays are not only important in diagnosing cavities between the teeth and underneath existing fillings, but can also aid your dentist in identifying issues such as bone loss, sinus congestion, impacted (not erupted) teeth and even signs of a more serious problem such as cancer.
