my teeth are really bad, from being disabled its hard to brush as often as I should I cant hardly sit or stand. i got 2 for sure need pulling I don't know if the rest can be saved. But I have extremely bad gag reflexes, I cant put bitwing in mouth mainly because if the plastic bag that Is over it. they said I could use the panoramic xrays but I looked on here and it says it doesn't really show cavities . What are my options? i cant use digital cause of gag reflexes and panoramic doesn't show cavities how is dentist gonna tell what all needs to be done?

[@robertogarcia5282]

So which one your prefer?

[@examinedental]

It entirely depends on the situation :) Each one is better for a particular reason.

How often at the most should panos be done? Is it indicated to do before a 1st molar extraction?

[@examinedental]

Panos aren’t something that are ‘routine’ compared to something like bitewings. You should only really do them if there’s an indication. For a lower first molar I would probably want a PA first and if I can’t get that or there’s an issue with it then I’d probably get a pano :)

What about submentovertex r/g

[@examinedental]

Hi, I didn't cover this as it's not a very common radiograph used particularly in the UK. I can cover it in a future video if you like though :)

[@sl4983]

What is an OPT? Those can be done in sections?

[@examinedental]

Yes they can be sectional - they’re the same as a ‘pano’ :)

[@sl4983]

Do panos cause lung cancer? I keep getting lung cancer commercials for these pano videos 🤔

[@mamabear8591]
