Seeing Beyond the Surface
We take a deeper look into your oral health with low-radiation Digital X-rays.


We’ve Got You Covered
Have you ever flown in an airplane before? If you have, then you’ve been exposed to radiation. We are all exposed to small amounts of radiation daily from natural and human-made sources. While it isn’t dangerous in small amounts, we want to limit radiation exposure when possible. That’s why we use Digital X-rays and lead aprons to protect our patients. Fun Fact: Digital X-rays use extremely low radiation to capture X-rays of all your teeth—up to 90% less than older technology and 85% less than a flight from the East to the West Coast!

Digital X-Rays
X-rays see what the human eye can’t. Digital X-ray images allow us to identify the early formation of cavities and any abnormalities in your mouth. This information allows us to create an effective and personalized dental plan for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cavities are caused by a combination of factors, including your diet, oral bacteria, the quality of your tooth enamel, and the structure of your teeth. The best ways to keep your mouth healthy and prevent cavities include:
- Diet: Limit sugary foods and drinks.
- Bacterial control: Brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily.
- Tooth anatomy: Asking your dentist about sealants or preventive fillings can help protect your teeth's grooves from food and bacteria.
- Routine dental check-ups: Seeing your dentist every 6 months will help you keep your mouth in tip-top shape!
Tooth decay occurs when bacteria produce acid that breaks down the enamel—the outer layer of your tooth. If the decay reaches the second layer, called dentin, it progresses more quickly because dentin is more porous than enamel. If not addressed, this leads to a cavity, pain, infection, and potentially tooth loss. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups can help prevent cavities from forming.
Your enamel quality and tooth structure are determined when your teeth develop, and they can’t be changed. However, using fluoride toothpaste can help strengthen enamel and reduce harmful bacteria in your mouth.
Gums may bleed when you brush due to gum inflammation, commonly caused by gingivitis. Gingivitis occurs when plaque (a sticky film of bacteria) builds up on your teeth and gums, irritating the gum tissue. This inflammation makes your gums more sensitive and prone to bleeding, especially when you brush or floss.
The good news is that gingivitis is usually reversible with good oral hygiene, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using a fluoride toothpaste. If the bleeding persists, it could be a sign of more serious gum disease, so it's important to see your dentist for an evaluation.
The frequency of dental X-rays depends on your individual needs and oral health. For most patients, we recommend digital X-rays every 12 months. However, we base our decision on your medical history, risk of dental issues, and any symptoms you may have. We tailor our recommendations to your specific health needs to ensure you receive the best care.
