Why do we take dental X-rays?

12-03-2018

Dental radiographs are an essential diagnostic tool which allows dentist to detect dental problems before they turn into serious concerns. Although physical examination lets you find noticeable signs of issues but not oral diseases are visible to the naked eye. Therefore, dental X-rays are very important part of dental care.

The X-rays will detect any early stages of cavities, gum disease, injuries to tooth roots and other oral problems that aren’t visible to the eye. By detecting early, you can get the treatment you need before those problems have a chance to develop. You can also check for bone loss caused by gum disease. They are also used to plan and co-ordinate treatment for root canals, dental implants, extraction and orthodontics.

The fact that I've been a loyal customer for 7 years and counting pretty much says it all. Sunita and her team are a professional group of people who know their business very well. Special mention of the new hygienist Colin whose warmth and abilities make sitting in the chair a combination of relief and humour. You all seem to be going from strength to strength.

Sparkle dental boutique honestly changed my smile. I searched around trying to find the best place for me as I was having quite a lot of work done and wanted somewhere I could put my trust in, and I’m glad I chose here. The staff were friendly and dr Sunita listened to what I wanted to achieve. It took a little longer than expected due to wanting to get things right but in the end we got there. Thanks guys for everything. I’ll see you soon. Faith xxx
