In this video Dr. Adrian Fenderson dentist in Napa, CA speaks about dental X-rays. Dental x-rays are an invaluable diagnostic tool for dental practitioners. This is because they allow us to see inside the tooth, revealing things we could never see with just an examination. For example, while we can detect some types of tooth decay simply by looking into a patient’s mouth, we cannot detect all types. Dental x-rays don’t just show us what’s going on inside the tooth they also show us what’s occurring at the bone level. We routinely screen for oral cancer, both through clinical examination and x-rays. Oral cancer has one of the highest death rates of all types of cancer, so early detection is important.
