Can you possibly guess what this is a dental X ray of? Before Dr. Marks reveals the shocking answer, lets learn why dental x rays are important.
X rays are the eyes that allow dentists to see areas that can’t be seen by the naked eye: between our teeth, inside our teeth, under our gums, inside the bones of our jaws and skull etc. Your dentist can diagnose the eruption and position of incoming teeth, tooth impactions, dental cavities, the beginning of dental abscesses and infections, gum disease, jaw bone resorption leading to tooth loss, the extent of injuries (broken teeth or jaws), tumors, aid in the placement of dental implants, and diagnose osteoporosis in older patients.

Early diagnosis of conditions can prevent pain, lessen dental treatment costs, and even save lives. In Dr. Marks’ office, he has saved several lives by using dental X rays to diagnose Paget’s Disease (Osteititis Deformans), and had this case published in the Journal of the American Dental Association. Dr. Marks has also diagnosed cancerous tumors of the jawbones, so that the patient could be treated before it was to late.
Living on the Earth, we are all exposed to natural radiation from space, radioactive substances within the Earth, the air we breathe & water we drink, and even in our foods and products we use daily. The amount of radiation from dental X rays is very small compared to our daily exposure, but the information we gain from its use can prevent disease, pain, and even save lives.
So, to answer the question of the mystery X ray, it is a dental X ray of Pac Man…. (this is an example of dental humor, which got you to learn a little bit about dental X rays and prevention). :-)
