Everything You Need to Know About the Dental Imaging Techniques
Dental Imaging is a progressive form of X-rays used for diagnosing dental issues. X-rays typically uncover flaws in your teeth's structure and other dental problems. Dental imaging is used for studying cavities, dental infections, oral masses and bone loss.
Among the most commonly used dental imaging techniques, digital X-rays are useful as they do not expose you to as much radiation as film X-rays tend to do. The imaging results help our dentist identify any growths or abnormalities in the gums, teeth and enamel with efficiency.
An intraoral camera is a small video camera that takes an image of the outside of the gum or tooth. The intraoral camera resembles an oversized pen. While simultaneously viewing a monitor, the dentist inserts the camera into a patient's mouth and gently shifts it about so that images can be taken from a variety of angles.Read more about Intraoral Camera
