General Dental Checkups / X-Rays Layton, UT

X-RAYS

X-rays use a low level of radiation that helps to capture images of the inside of your teeth. These images are helpful in determining any problems that aren’t visible to the naked eye. X-rays can aid your dentist in diagnosing cavities, tooth decay or impacted teeth.

X-rays are typically performed at your first appointment and again when your dentist feels that you need them. Some factors that influence the frequency of imaging include:

• Age
• Current oral health
• History of gum disease
• Symptoms of oral disease

Children also undergo more x-rays than adults due to their exponential growth and to ensure the development of their permanent teeth.
