ENA useful image for a clearer diagnosis
An X-ray can show roots, bone and the position of unerupted teeth. It is selected to answer a specific clinical question and interpreted alongside symptoms and examination, not instead of them.
Digital panoramic X-rays available at DENTAURUM provide an overview of the dental arches and surrounding structures. Some cases may need a different investigation, recommended separately by your dentist, to assess particular details.

The right investigation at the right time
X-rays use ionising radiation, so they are recommended when the information is useful for diagnosis or treatment. Tell the team if you are pregnant or could be pregnant. Bring recent images to avoid unnecessary repeats.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an X-ray at every visit?
No. The need depends on symptoms, disease risk and the planned treatment. A recent image may be sufficient in some situations.
Can children have dental X-rays?
Yes, when clinically indicated. The type of investigation and exposure are adapted to the clinical question and the child.
Does a panoramic X-ray replace all other investigations?
No. It provides an overview, but some details may need other images. Your dentist will explain whether they are necessary and why.
