Can X-rays reveal all cavities to the dentist? I had cavities filled, but is can still feel, cavities ouch?!? |
if x-ray reveal all cavities, why do i still feel cavities, it's more less in between my teeth. when i suck on tooth, i fell it ouch!! I notice some teeth i cannot floss them ?? Xrays are not totally reliable in locating all cavities. They are a single tool to be combined with other methods - sight, touch, Diagnodent, experience... to come to a diagnosis. If I were you I would get a new dentist and tell them your symptoms. X-rays will not show small cavities and even worse if you have a hairline fracture in that tooth it will not show up the dentist will have to put a piece of wood or something hard on that tooth and have you bite down to find the problem tooth. X-rays dont show all cavities. but some dentists have little x-rays that they can put in your mouth tell your dentist to try one of them next time if he hasnt already well more or less all cavities or caries can appear in x-ray (again it also depends on what x-rays have been taken for example bite wing,periapical xray.etc. are preffered ones) No xrays or radiographs as they are really called do not reveal all. Small cavities can be VERY subtle on a radiograph. Ask your dentist if they have "diagnodent" pronounced DI-AG-NO-DENT or similar device. It is a machine that can find cavities unseen by the nake eye. Or just ask the dentist to check the teeth that you feel pain in again. Don't be afraid to call the dentist and ask him to recheck. I heard that if you have some small cracks in teeth, cavity can develop inside and be invisible from the outside of the tooth.... |
