Types of X-rays
http://www.sklar.com/ptinfo/xrays.htm



    We utilize four main types of x-rays to help us evaluate areas not visible otherwise.   Certainly not every person will have each of these types of x-rays.
  • periapical - single tooth, whole root; taken as indicated
  • bitewing - usually back teeth, half upper / half lower; usually two or four taken
  • full-mouth - all teeth, with both bitewing and periapical x-rays
  • panoramic - single film, entire mouth

    We make sure that every patient has some form of x-ray showing the whole mouth as a baseline to compare against in future examinations.   We do not treat without x-rays - this is for your health.

    We only diagnose from original x-rays.  Even if you just had x-rays taken at your previous dentist, we still take new ones.  This is for a number of reasons, foremost being your health.   By law, original x-rays are to be retained by the office - so only copies get forwarded.   If something is to be detected on x-rays, it is best detected from an original, not a copy.
