X-rays help your Melbourne CBD dentist diagnose problems in your teeth and jaws.
Your Melbourne CBD dentist will use the information gathered from X-rays to chart the best possible course of action for your treatment.
Information from dental X-rays can be used to treat various conditions, such as cancerous and non-cancerous tumours, tooth decay, cysts and abscess, bone loss, bad tooth alignment and problems inside the tooth.
There are several different types of dental X-rays, which record slightly different views of your mouth.

Like brushing and flossing, getting regular dental X-rays is a vital part of your overall oral health.
Having a good check-up can be a relief, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep getting X-rays.

A lot can happen underneath the gumline or inside of teeth that dentists cannot see without X-rays.
While you might wonder why you need dental X-rays when there’s no outward indication that there is a problem, this tool can provide early warning of potential problems, allowing for treatment before they become much bigger issues.
The frequency of taking X-rays depends on your medical and dental history and current condition.
Some people may need dental X-rays as often as every six months.
Others who don’t have dental or gum disease and who have ongoing scheduled visits with the dentist may only need X-rays every couple of years.
The amount of radiation used in dental X-rays is minimal, and patients are provided with all possible protection, including a lead-lined apron to cover parts of the body that could be exposed to X-rays.
Plus, you will only receive X-rays when needed so as to avoid undue risk.
