At Orange Hill Veterinary Hospital we are proud to announce the arrival of our new digital dental radiology system. Dental radiographs (x-rays) are one of the most important diagnostic tools available. Advanced radiography equipment at our facility includes digital intraoral veterinary dental x-rays which provide superior quality for examination of individual teeth or sections of the jaws. These radiographs help aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, monitoring treatment and post-operative treatment success.

Radiographs allow the internal anatomy of the teeth, tooth roots, and the bone that surrounds the roots to be examined. They are also used to identify problems with the crowns and roots of the teeth, as well as the jaw bones, nasal cavity and soft tissues of the mouth.

Radiographs also help examine teeth that appear healthy but may be compromised on the inside and can help identify many conditions that may otherwise go undiagnosed. For example, dental x-rays can identify:

• Periodontal disease
• Endodontic disease
• Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions
• Trauma, maxillary or mandibular fractures, fractured teeth
• Dental abnormalities
• Preoperative, perioperative and postoperative evaluations
• Nasal cavity disease
• Missing teeth
• Dentigerous Cysts
• Oral Masses/Tumors
• Retained or Broken Roots
• Periapical abscesses
• Genetic dental abnormalities
• Cavities and Root Resorption
• Abscessed teeth
• Permanent tooth count in puppies
• Retained Deciduous teeth
