Dental X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool that provides dentists with a clear view of your teeth and jaw. It is a common practice for dentists to show patients their x-rays to explain any dental issues or treatment options.
X-rays can reveal cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other dental problems that may not be visible during a regular dental exam. By viewing the x-rays, patients can gain a better understanding of their oral health and make informed decisions about their treatment. Showing patients their x-rays also helps build trust and transparency between the dentist and patient.
