Dental X-ray Novi Sad

 

 

Why are teeth x-rayed?

You can have all the mentioned and described types of dental X-ray  done at the Dental Polyclinic “Prof. Džolev.”

Dental imaging is a crucial diagnostic tool that enables dentists to precisely identify issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye. With the help of digital images, the structure of the teeth, roots, jaw, and bones can be analyzed in detail, which is crucial for a proper treatment plan. This method is necessary for diagnosing cavities, infections, and cysts, as well as for preparing for more complex dental procedures, such as tooth extractions, implant placements, or orthodontic therapy.


How long does a dental X-ray last?

 

Getting a dental X-ray is a quick and completely painless procedure. The patient sits down and removes all jewelry from their head and neck area before the X-ray is taken. The process itself only takes a few seconds, while the total time, including preparation, is usually around two minutes. Thanks to digital technology, the images are immediately available for analysis, which speeds up diagnosis and treatment planning.


Types of diagnostic imaging for teeth and jaws

Intraoral

 

Intraoral dental imaging is a dental procedure that uses cameras or X-ray devices to take individual images of teeth. Intraoral imaging enables dentists to obtain a detailed view of the teeth’s condition. It’s often used to determine the presence and extent of cavities or other changes on the tooth.


Panoramic

 

A panoramic dental scan, also known as an orthopantomogram, is a type of X-ray that enables dentists to obtain a panoramic view of all the teeth, the upper and lower jaws, bones, sinuses, and surrounding areas. 

CBCT

 

CBCT is a type of X-ray imaging, and it is currently the most significant type of imaging for teeth and jaws. It is presented in a three-dimensional view, which allows dentists to precisely and accurately visualize bone structures.


TELERADIOGRAM

 

A TELERADIOGRAM, also known as a profile image of the jaw. This image is done using a cephalostat machine and represents an extensive image. This image shows a part of the neck and almost the entire head.


How to prepare for a tooth X-ray?

 

Taking a dental X-ray is a quick and painless process, but it can be uncomfortable for some people. When preparing for an X-ray, it’s essential to tell your dentist if you are or suspect you might be pregnant. In that case, it would be best to postpone the X-ray until after you’ve given birth. If the X-ray is necessary, the radiology technician will provide you with a lead apron to protect your baby. Additionally, if you are wearing any jewelry (such as earrings, necklaces, piercings, hair clips, or dentures), it’s best to remove it, as it can affect the quality of the image.


How are dental X-rays done for children?

 

Taking X-rays of children’s teeth is essential because it allows dentists to precisely assess the condition of their teeth and jaw and determine an appropriate treatment plan. We understand parents’ concerns about exposure to ionizing radiation, but thanks to modern equipment and the use of proper protection, the level of radiation is minimized, which is crucial for the safety of children.

An orthopantomogram is used for children, a modern device that enables the capture of a single image of the entire dental structure, jaw, and surrounding bones. This approach is instrumental in pediatric dentistry, as it provides dentists with a detailed insight into the growth and development of teeth, which is extremely helpful for the timely detection of potential problems and for monitoring proper development.


What do we do after a dental X-ray?

 

After the imaging, your dentist will have a clear insight into the condition of your teeth, allowing them to identify any potential problems and determine their stage precisely. Based on this, the dentist will explain the steps that need to be taken to address any potential issues. It is essential that you listen carefully to your dentist’s recommendations and, together with them, select the most suitable treatment plan.

When the problem is solved, you will surely be satisfied because you have taken the first step towards preserving the health of your teeth, and thus your smile.
