What Are Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are a modern diagnostic tool used by dentists to capture detailed images of your teeth, bones, and soft tissues. Unlike traditional X-rays, which use film, digital X-rays use electronic sensors to capture images. These images are then displayed on a computer screen almost immediately, allowing your dentist to assess your dental health in real-time.
Digital X-rays can help identify a variety of dental issues, including:
- Cavities between teeth
- Gum disease
- Tooth infections or abscesses
- Bone loss around teeth
- Tumors or cysts
