Occlusal x-ray

Occlusal X-ray Edmonton

Occlusal X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool in dentistry, providing insights into the roof and floor of the mouth. These specialized X-rays are used to detect a range of dental and oral health issues, and they play a crucial role in helping Dr. Alexandra Bendic at Westend Dental Clinic in Edmonton, AB, provide comprehensive care to patients like you.

When Are Occlusal X-rays Necessary?

Occlusal X-rays serve several important purposes in dentistry:

  • Identifying Extra Teeth: These X-rays can reveal the presence of extra teeth (supernumerary teeth) in the oral cavity, a condition that may require intervention.
  • Monitoring Tooth Development: Dentists use occlusal X-rays to monitor the development and eruption of teeth that have not yet broken through the gums.
  • Detecting Jaw Fractures: Occlusal X-rays can help identify fractures or injuries to the jawbone, assisting in the diagnosis and treatment planning for such cases.
  • Evaluating Palate Health: They are useful in assessing the condition of the palate, including identifying a cleft palate or other anomalies.
  • Locating Cysts, Abscesses, or Growths: Occlusal X-rays can reveal the presence of cysts, abscesses, tumors, or other abnormal growths in the oral and maxillofacial region.
  • Foreign Object Detection: In cases where a foreign object may have entered the mouth or become lodged in the oral tissues, occlusal X-rays can help locate and determine the appropriate course of action.

Your Oral Health and Occlusal X-rays

As part of your comprehensive dental care, occlusal X-rays may be recommended by Dr. Alexandra Bendic to ensure a thorough evaluation of your oral health. These X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool, allowing for early detection and intervention in various dental and oral conditions.
