Why does the dentist take X-rays? Dental X-rays are images of your teeth that help your dentist evaluate your oral health. X-rays capture images of the interior of the teeth and gums and help the dentist see small problems that could have otherwise gone unnoticed. X-rays reveal complex problems, including: Decay between teeth or below existing restorations such as fillings Bone infections Periodontal disease Abscesses or cysts Developmental abnormalities Some tumors or cancer At Bunker Hill Dentistry, we rely a great deal on dental X-rays to detect dental problems at an early stage when they are easily treatable.
