Dental X-rays at Ocean Dental play a crucial role in detecting problems that aren’t visible during a regular dental exam. They give Dr. Dahlquist a clear view of your teeth, roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures. With the help of X-rays, issues such as cavities between teeth, bone loss from gum disease, impacted teeth, and other hidden dental conditions can be accurately identified and treated early.

How often you need dental X-rays depends on your individual oral health needs. For most patients, X-rays are typically recommended once a year during routine dental visits. However, if you have a history of dental problems or are at a higher risk for certain conditions, Dr. Dahlquist may advise more frequent X-rays to ensure any issues are caught and treated early.
