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
  • You are visiting a dentist for the first time
  • A child’s tooth development needs monitoring

X-rays are taken only when necessary.

Are Dental X-Rays Safe?

Yes. Modern dental X-rays use very low radiation levels and are considered safe for both adults and children.

At Omabod Dental Clinic:

  • X-rays are taken only when clinically required
  • Protective measures are followed

Your safety is always a priority.

What Happens During a Dental X-Ray?

The process is simple and quick:

  • Results are reviewed and explained clearly

There is no pain involved.
