These X-rays do not provide the detail found with intraoral X-rays and therefore are not used for detecting cavities or for identifying problems with individual teeth. Extraoral X-rays show teeth, but their main focus is the jaw and skull.These X-rays provide a lot of detail and allow your dentist to find cavities, check the health of the tooth root and bone surrounding the tooth, check the status of developing teeth, and monitor the general health of your teeth and jawbone. Intraoral X-rays are the most common type of dental X-ray taken.There are two main types of dental X-rays: intraoral (meaning the X-ray film is inside the mouth) and extraoral (meaning the X-ray film is outside the mouth). Reveal other developmental abnormalities, such as cysts and some types of tumors.Check for the development of wisdom teeth and identify if the teeth are impacted (unable to emerge through the gums).Determine if primary teeth are being lost quickly enough to allow permanent teeth to come in properly.Determine if there is enough space in the mouth to fit all incoming teeth.Reveal an abscess (an infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and a tooth).Assist in the preparation of tooth implants, braces, dentures, or other dental procedures.Reveal changes in the bone or in the root canal resulting from infection.

Reveal bone loss that accompanies gum disease.Identify decay occurring beneath an existing filling.Show areas of decay that may not be visible with an oral exam, especially small areas of decay between teeth.They also help the dentist find and treat dental problems early on, which can help save you money, unnecessary discomfort, and maybe even your life.
