It’s common for you to see one of our dentists at Pachem. You will need an X-ray. It is an essential part of any dental care treatment plan.

Treatment Overview

While X-rays are diagnostic, they can also be preventative by helping our dentists diagnose potential oral care issues in your mouth before it becomes a significant problem. X-rays are a technology that directs radiation at an area of the body to create an image of it.

What is an X-ray?

X-rays are routine in many medical circumstances and are 100 percent safe. While they expose you to low radiation levels, the risks remain extremely low.

Why do I need an X-ray?

X-rays are also vital in prevention as they can detect issues such as tooth decay, meaning you can get the treatment you need at the earliest stage possible.

Aftercare treatment

Your dentist will examine your x-ray and recommend any further treatment that may be needed.
