Dental Radiography
Intraoral dental radiographs are essential for diagnosing dental disease below the gumline. More than half of each tooth is hidden, and conditions like root infections, bone loss, and tooth resorption can only be detected with X-rays.
Key Facts

- Essential for tooth resorption staging, fracture assessment, and periodontal bone loss evaluation
- Required under anesthesia for proper positioning
- Reveals root infections, broken roots, bone loss, unerupted teeth, and foreign bodies
- Can be taken as early as 10 weeks of age to evaluate tooth development
- Every professional dental cleaning should include dental X-rays
- Species: dogs and cats
