ORAL DIAGNOSIS & RADIOLOGY FAQs

  • What is oral diagnosis in dentistry?
    Oral diagnosis involves the identification and evaluation of dental and oral health conditions through  clinical examination and patient history. It helps dentists detect issues like tooth decay, gum disease, oral infections, or lesions before symptoms worsen. Located in in Patrakar Colony, Mansarovar, Jaipur, we serve patients across Jaipur with advanced dental solutions.

  • What is dental radiology?
    Dental radiology refers to the use of X-rays and other imaging techniques to visualize structures within the mouth, such as teeth, bones, and soft tissues. This helps in accurate diagnosis and planning of treatments like root canals, implants, or orthodontics.

  • Are dental X-rays safe?
    Yes, modern digital dental X-rays are very safe. At North Face Dental, we use low-radiation technology to ensure patient safety while providing high-quality diagnostic images.

  • When do I need a dental X-ray or scan?
    Dental X-rays may be needed during routine check-ups or when diagnosing issues such as:

     Tooth pain or sensitivity
     Gum disease
     Jaw pain or swelling
     Wisdom tooth evaluation
     Before procedures like implants or braces

  • What is the difference between a CBCT scan and a regular dental X-ray?
    A CBCT scan offers 3D imaging and provides more detailed views of bone structure, nerves, and sinuses—ideal for advanced procedures. In contrast, regular dental X-rays are 2D images used for basic diagnosis.

  • How long does a dental radiology procedure take?
    Most dental X-rays take only a few minutes. CBCT scans may take 10–15 minutes. The procedures are quick, painless, and non-invasive.

  • Is oral diagnosis necessary during every dental visit?
    Yes, a basic oral diagnosis is typically part of every dental visit to ensure any changes in your oral health are detected early and managed properly.

  • Can radiology detect oral cancer?
    While X-rays alone can't confirm oral cancer, they can help identify abnormal growths or lesions. Combined with clinical examination, radiology aids in early detection and referral for biopsy or further testing. Located in in Patrakar Colony, Mansarovar, Jaipur, we serve patients across Jaipur with advanced dental solutions.
