Digital X-Rays Help Us Get To The Bottom Of It

At Watertown Dental Care, digital x-rays are a vital tool to help care for your teeth. Many dental problems cannot be spotted with a visual examination alone. As your dentist, we use this technology daily to ensure accurate diagnosis and ultimate patient convenience and comfort.

Why A Digital X-Rays Are So Great

An x-ray, also known as a radiograph, magnifies what cannot be seen with the naked eye. It reveals sneaky decay in teeth and beneath the gum line. And it also shows us what’s happening under caps and fillings. Other oral health issues it shines a spotlight on include cysts, abscesses, gum disease, early signs of cancer, and tumors.

For decades, x-rays have been instrumental in dentistry. By capturing these images, your Watertown dentist can do their job more effectively and efficiently. If we couldn’t access this technology, it would be impossible to see so much of what is happening inside your mouth.
