One of the essential diagnostic tools in modern dentistry is the panoramic x-ray. Panoramic x-rays are two-dimensional images that provide a very broad view of the teeth, jaws, sinuses, jaw joints and nasal areas. They are not designed to find cavities like other x-rays. Rather, they reveal problems such as impacted teeth, bone abnormalities and fractures, infections, and cysts or tumors. Because of this, they are a staple technology in any oral or maxillofacial practice. Panoramic x-rays provide an accurate and trusted diagnosis so that the most viable treatment plans can be executed. What are the benefits of panoramic x-rays? • They offer a comprehensive view of the mouth, not just target areas • They aid in the diagnosis of various dental issues • Their images are used to plan a wide range of procedures accurately • They allow for early detection of hidden dental problems • They reduce exposure to radiation • They are quick and comfortable When might you have a panoramic x-ray taken? Panoramic x-rays are commonly used during routine check-ups to monitor oral health. They may also be used before surgical procedures or orthodontic treatments. For patients with jaw pain or TMD, panoramic x-rays are used to evaluate the joint's condition.
"My experience with Ponder Memory has been nothing but STELLAR! I really appreciate the kindness, support and most of all the time taken with me. To Dr. Ponder, Elizabeth, and Lacy, you all made me so comfortable when truly I was a nervous wreck. I would like to think that I was a special patient but I see that you give all of your patients the same kindness and care. The care you and your staff provided me is very often unheard of and I want to send a big thank you and let you know how grateful I am that God placed you all in my path. Thank you so much! For those reading my post, please know that I highly recommend PONDER MEMORY FAMILY DENTAL. They are the Truth!"
