Are dental x-rays safe?

Yes. The radiation exposure with digital x-rays is minimal. One targeted shot gives a dose of 2–5 µSv. For comparison: the natural background radiation in a year is 2400 µSv, and one plane flight is about 30 µSv. Is it harmful to take dental x-rays as often as necessary for treatment? No, because the doses are incomparably small. How many times a year can you do x-rays? For medical reasons - at least every month, there is no dangerous accumulation. We use modern equipment that reduces radiation to a technical minimum. we avoid any x-ray examinations unless absolutely necessary. If x-rays are needed to treat severe pain (suspected cyst, periodontitis, root fracture), the doctor assesses the risks in the second and third trimesters, possibly after using a protective lead apron. Always inform the doctor about pregnancy before starting the diagnosis.

How does dental x-ray differ from CT and OPTG?

Targeted x-ray (intraoral) - a detailed image of 1-3 teeth. Ideal for assessing the quality of canal filling, searching for root cracks, hidden caries between teeth. OPTG (orthopantomogram) - panoramic x-ray of the teeth of the entire jaw. Shows all teeth, maxillary sinuses. temporomandibular joints. Good for an initial review, but the detail is lower. CT (computed tomography/CBCT) - a three-dimensional 3D model of the jaw. Required for complex implantation, removal of “eights” with curved roots, assessment of bone tissue density. A simple rule: sighting - “under a magnifying glass” one tooth, panoramic - a “map” of the entire jaw, CT - “3D constructor”.

How are dental x-rays done and does it hurt?

Doesn't it hurt at all? You just sit in a chair, the doctor asks you to lightly bite a small sensor or fixes it next to the tooth. There are no injections or unpleasant ones. sensations. Only a quiet buzzing of the device. The whole procedure takes a few seconds.

How many times a year can you take dental x-rays without harm?

There are practically no medical restrictions on the frequency when using digital x-rays. For reference: radiation safety standards allow up to 500 targeted images per year for one person without any consequences. according to indications: for diagnosis, treatment monitoring or prevention (for example, once a year during a routine examination).

X-ray or CT - which is better?

Depends on the task. X-ray (sighted or panoramic) is a quick and accessible method for 80% of cases: caries, periodontitis, filling control is needed for complex planning: implantation, removal. impacted teeth, assessment of TMJ, pathology of the maxillary sinuses. At KAN Dental, the doctor will select the best option.

Dental X-ray in Tashkent

What does a dental x-ray show

A dental x-ray is the main tool for radiology diagnostics in dentistry. Unlike a visual examination, an x-ray penetrates through hard tissues and shows what is hidden from the doctor’s eyes. At KAN Dental we use targeted and panoramic dental x-rays, as well as CBCT (computed tomography) - the choice of method depends on the clinical tasks.

What the x-ray will show:

Hidden and secondary caries - under fillings, crowns, between teeth.
Cysts, granulomas - foci of infection at the apex of the root.
Periodontitis and pulpitis - inflammation of the tissues around the root or inside tooth.
Root cracks - invisible during normal examination.
Condition of fillings and root canals - quality of filling, tightness.
Impacted teeth (unerupted, for example, “eights”) and their position.
Periodontal diseases - level bone tissue around the teeth.
Jaw fractures and dislocations.

Diagnocat - image analysis with artificial intelligence

We upload each X-ray image to the Diagnocat cloud system. This is artificial intelligence that is specially trained on millions of dental images. It automatically finds and highlights in color all suspicious areas: caries, cysts, granulomas, signs of periodontitis, root cracks, bone loss fabric.
