See What the Eye Can’t and Detect Problems Early
Ever been told “we need an X-ray to be sure”?
Many dental problems develop beneath the surface, where they cannot be seen during a routine examination. Cavities between teeth, infections in the jawbone, impacted teeth, and hidden decay often show no visible signs at first.
Dental X-rays allow dentists to see what is happening inside your teeth and jaw, helping to diagnose problems early and accurately.
At Omabod Dental Clinic in Accra, we use dental X-rays safely and responsibly to support precise diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
What Are Dental X-Rays?
Dental X-rays are diagnostic images that show:
- Tooth roots
- Jawbone structure
- Areas between teeth
- Infections or abscesses
- Impacted or unerupted teeth
- Bone loss from gum disease
They provide essential information that cannot be detected by sight alone.
Why Dental X-Rays Are Important
Dental X-rays help to:
- Detect cavities early
- Identify hidden infections
- Assess bone health
- Monitor tooth development in children
- Plan treatments accurately
- Prevent small issues from becoming serious problems
Early detection often means simpler, less costly treatment.
When Do You Need a Dental X-Ray?
A dental X-ray may be recommended if:
- You have tooth pain or swelling
- A cavity is suspected between teeth
- Gum disease is present
- A wisdom tooth is causing problems
- A root canal or extraction is planned
