THE IMPORTANCE OF DENTAL X-RAYS

Dental X-rays are a vital component of the dentist’s diagnosis and treatment decisions. With dental X-rays, the dentist can see when there is an infection, bone loss, or other issues. Without the use of dental X-rays, the dentist would be confined to whatever information he/she can gather from a visual inspection of the mouth.
