We also capture what cannot be seen with the naked eye. Dental X-rays reveal problems before they manifest as pain.
Dental X-ray is an imaging method that allows dentists to look “inside” the teeth and jaws and determine the most appropriate treatment. It helps to detect problems that are not visible to the naked eye – such as cavities between the teeth, inflammation in the bone, invisible cracks or the growth of unerupted teeth.
First, you will remove all metal objects from your head area (earrings, glasses, chains) and put on a lead apron that will protect your body from radiation.
The dentist or assistant will place an X-ray sensor in your mouth (for an intraoral scan) or have you stand/sit in front of a panoramic X-ray.
The device emits a short X-ray beam. The scan itself only takes a few seconds and you won’t feel anything.
The image is immediately displayed on the monitor. The dentist evaluates it and, based on it, suggests further treatment: for example, caries treatment, root canals, or extraction.

Nie. Pred vyšetrením stačí odložiť kovové predmety (napr. náušnice, retiazky) a riadiť sa pokynmi personálu.

Unless absolutely necessary, dental X-rays are postponed during pregnancy. If necessary, they are performed with maximum protection. Always inform your dentist if you are pregnant.
The most commonly used are Intraoral X-ray (detailed images of individual teeth), panoramic X-ray (displays the entire jaw at once) and 3D CBCT (three-dimensional imaging for accurate diagnosis and planning, e.g. before implantation).
