Wausau Dentist
Q: Why does the dentist need to take X-rays of my mouth?
A: Dental x-rays, also known as radiographs, help dentists detect a wide range of possible dental conditions, problems, and disorders. Tooth decay, infections, and symptoms of gum disease can all show up on a radiograph. Radiographs can also reveal the presence of dental fillings and crowns to your dentist.
