X-Rays Near You
Have you been experiencing any tooth pain or sensitivity? X-rays, or radiographs, are images taken of your teeth, bones, and soft tissues inside the mouth by a hygienist near you. Our hygienist uses diagnostic tools such as x-rays to detect oral health problems that may not be visible during a regular oral examination.
At Floss, we strive to provide our patients with quality oral care. That is why we offer in-office x-rays for your comfort.
Are X-Rays Necessary?
X-rays are useful to our team for detecting tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, abscesses, and other abnormalities that may not be visible during a regular oral examination. These are also used to evaluate the growth and development of teeth and jaws and for our hygiene team to better provide patients with the best oral treatment plan tailored to their oral health needs.
X-rays are also helpful for planning oral procedures like extractions or root canals. By providing a clear view of the teeth, roots, and bone, our Banff hygienists can make a more informed decision about the best course of treatment for your smile goals.
There are certain reasons why our dedicated team may recommend you get a x-ray:
- Routine check-up: This is to check for any oral health problems that may not be visible during a regular examination. This helps detect any issues early on and prevents them from becoming more serious.
- Toothache or pain: X-rays can reveal tooth decay, infections, abscesses, or impacted teeth that may be causing the pain.
- Orthodontic treatment: They provide a clear view of the teeth and jaws, which helps create a dental hygiene diagnosis.
- Oral implants: They show the bone’s density and thickness, which helps determine the best location for oral implants.
