Dental X-Rays

NorthShore utilizes dental X-rays to reveal hidden areas between teeth and under gums, aiding in precise diagnosis of various dental conditions like decay and periodontal disease, as well as recognizing past dental work done elsewhere. These X-rays are integral in comprehensive dental assessments during routine or emergency exams.

Dental X-Rays at NorthShore

During a routine dental exam or an emergency exam, dental X-rays will also be taken to give us a visualization between the teeth and below the gumline to areas that are not able to be seen with the naked eye. These X-rays allow your dental professional to properly diagnose dental conditions, such as periodontal disease, dental decay (cavities), etc. X-rays also help assist the dental team in identifying any previous dental work that may have been completed in another office.
