X-rays aren’t just used for fractured bones and ruptured organs according to the Modesto Dentist office. Don’t be alarmed if your doctor orders a dental x-ray the next time you get in for an appointment. Dental x-rays help the dentist to confirm any problem with your teeth, gums, roots and gums as well as suggest treatment that can effectively solve the issue.

There are two types of dental x-rays that dentists often order: intraoral x-rays and extra-oral x-rays. The intra-oral x-rays are more popular than the latter especially since they’re used for less serious dental issues including locating decayed teeth and dental holes, and the confirmation of bone changes. On the other hand extra-oral x-rays are often ordered by orthodontists who track the development of their patients’ teeth before prescribing an orthodontic treatment.

Different kinds of x-rays are available below the two types of dental x-rays. Bite-wing, periapical, and occlusal x-rays are including in the intraoral x-rays.

Bite-wings show the images of specific teeth from the crowns to the bone where the teeth are anchored. This type of dental x-ray is useful for finding the exact location of decayed teeth and cavities, and determining bone density changes.

Periapicals give a blown up image of the entire tooth—from the crown all the way to the root that goes all the way to the jaw. This kind of dental x-ray is required for close scrutiny of tooth and bone structure,

Occlusals show the entire upper jaw or lower jaw to allow the dentist to find out about the patient’s teeth development.

For the extra-oral x-rays, the different kinds included in the category are panoramic x-rays and cephalometric projections.

Panoramics provide images of the whole mouth—including the lower jaws and the upper jaws—and the teeth that are impacted or are yet to surface. Tumors and cysts can be identified with the dental x-ray as well.

Cephalometrics are x-rays that include entire head.
