Why routine dental X-rays are essential! 🦷

Cases, Information
Oct 2025

▫️ This OPG highlighting the Lower Right Quadrant (48) shows exactly why X-rays are a crucial part of your dental care.

▫️ Some issues such as hidden lesions or pathology can develop long before any pain is felt and are only detectable with imaging.

Routine X-rays help us:

✅ Detect cavities between teeth before discomfort appears

✅ Monitor tooth and jaw development for proper alignment

✅ Spot early signs of gum or bone changes

✅ Identify hidden lesions or pathology requiring urgent attention

▫️Think of X-rays as a window into the hidden parts of your smile, without them, problems may go unnoticed until they become serious. 👀

Regular imaging + check-ups = strong, healthy teeth for life 💪

💡 Are you overdue for your dental X-rays?

We would love to meet you and find out more about you. We understand that your mouth is a very important and a very personal space and we thank you for trusting us with your care.
