Why do Dentists take X-Rays?

Dental X-rays are very important for diagnosis and treatment. The clinical examination evaluates the hard (teeth) and soft tissues (gums, cheeks) of the oral cavity, but thanks to the X-rays we can see if there are any changes that are not visible.

There are several types of radiographs such as periapical, bitewing, occlusal, panoramic and lateral. The dentist will resort to one of them if he considers it convenient for the diagnosis.

La caries de biberón se presenta cuando el niño duerme con el biberón o no se realiza una correcta higiene luego de consumir alguna bebida azucarada. Afecta por lo general en piezas anteriores y se evidencia por manchas blancas en la superficie de los dientes.

Cuando no son atendidas a tiempo, estas manchas blancas se convierten en cavidades oscuras destruyendo el esmalte y afectando a la dentina y pulpa dental. Cuando la caries afecta considerablemente a los dientes anteriores se pueden utilizar las coronas de acetato para la rehabilitación.

It is known as an immature tooth, that tooth that has an open apex and is discovered by an X-ray. When this happens, conventional endodontic procedures are of no value.
