Veterinary dental X-rays (radiographs) are a critical part of diagnosing and treating dental problems in pets. Dental X-rays allow veterinarians to see below the gum line, where many common issues like infections, fractures, and bone loss start. Nearly 60% of dental issues are hidden beneath the surface, so X-rays give us a clear picture of the tooth roots, surrounding bone, and other structures. This helps us identify problems early and determine the most effective treatment, especially for pets who may not show obvious signs of discomfort.
Dental X-rays are typically done under anesthesia, as this keeps your pet safe and still, allowing us to obtain clear, precise images. Our trained team uses special equipment designed for animals to make the process safe and efficient. By using dental X-rays as part of our care, we’re able to provide the highest quality dental treatment, leading to better long-term health for your pet.
