A Window into Your Oral Health at Brea Family Dentistry
Introduction
At Brea Family Dentistry, we believe that preventive care is essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Dr. Kourosh Maleki and our dedicated team are committed to providing exceptional dental services in Brea, California. One crucial tool we use to assess your dental health is Cavity Treatment Dental X-Rays. Let’s explore why these X-rays are vital, how they work, and how they contribute to your overall well-being.
What Are Dental X-Rays?
Dental X-rays, also known as radiographs, are images of your teeth, bones, and soft tissues around them. These X-rays help us find problems with your teeth, mouth, and jaw that may not be visible during a visual examination. Here’s why dental X-rays are essential:
- Detecting Hidden Issues:
- Sometimes, a tooth may appear healthy, but X-rays reveal decay under the enamel, infections in the root, or bone loss around the tooth.
- Dental X-rays allow us to see between your teeth or under the edge of existing fillings.
- Types of Dental X-Rays:
- Bitewing X-Rays: These show the upper and lower back teeth and help detect cavities between teeth.
- Periapical X-Rays: These focus on individual teeth, showing the entire tooth from crown to root.
- Panoramic X-Rays: These capture a broad view of the entire mouth, including all teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures.
Safety and Frequency
- Minimal Radiation Exposure:
- Dental X-rays use low levels of radiation.
- Modern equipment and techniques minimize exposure while providing valuable diagnostic information.
- Individualized Approach:
- The frequency of X-rays depends on your dental history, age, risk factors, and specific needs.
- Routine X-rays are typically taken every 6 to 18 months during regular check-ups.
Patient Education and Treatment Planning
- Early Detection:
- Dental X-rays help us identify issues early, allowing for prompt treatment.
- Early intervention prevents cavities from progressing and minimizes the need for extensive procedures.
- Customized Care:
- By analyzing X-rays, we create personalized treatment plans.
- Whether it’s preventive care, restorative treatments, or cosmetic procedures, understanding your dental status guides our recommendations.
