How to read a panoramic dental x ray

[@vtorchas]

Their x-ray is so perfect! My teeth are just everywhere

[@Samlol23_drrich]

So just tell people you have "summer" teeth....... Summer going this way and summer going that way.....

[@madj7152]

Lol. I just said the same thing😂

[@desupair]

Perfect? I see two wisdom tooth impacted

[@dr.muhammadyounis4768]

Nice presentation. Would you highlight the white limes in the upper jaw especially above and behind the sinuses

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, thank you for the question. The white lines are the hard palate/roof of the mouth as it appears on the x-ray.

[@Mary-ui4im]

Very interesting! Thank you.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Dr, I went for a filling for the 26 3 months ago. Went in for a checkup today as I’m experiencing sensitivity in my teeth and especially the 26 (I have braces & clench my teeth at night). The dentist took an X-ray and said it’s inflammation, no infection or abscess. Can this 100% be the case despite the tooth sensitivity and slight pain?

[@mrsNetty34]

Had one today. You could see filling and landmarks like mandibular canal

[@mademuriani5943]

Is it type teeth in the vidio are normal? Cause i have the same result of rontgen, but i got little bit confused,when i see it in google,average people have curved on them rontgen/teeth,is it cause of genetic?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, some people have curved roots, especially molars. Most people have fairly straight roots. Thanks for the question.

[@mademuriani5943]

@@VeryNiceSmileDental i love you doctor😍😍thanks a bunch for the answer🙏

[@desiamares9219]

I have an infected molar #30 that’s dark grey in between the roots and on the bottom of the root (from what I understand that is an abscess or infection) but around that is pretty white (dense?) compared to the gray area on left side of my jaw pano x-ray, what could that mean? Thank you for your help.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, a dark area around the roots of the tooth is called a "periapical radiolucency" and is usually caused by an infection. A white area on the x-ray is caused by denser bone. It could be a "condensing osteitis". What did your dentist think ?

[@madj7152]

Whats the color of the root abcess doc? I see a big black spot on my one of my front root tips..

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, on an x-ray an abscess at a root tip will appear black.

[@erikaquatsch2190]

Dr Rich, can the entire thyroid be shielded effectively without impairing the visualization of the mandible's health? I thank you in advance.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, it depends on the person. It's difficult to position the thyroid collar perfectly during a panoramic x-ray. Fortunately the beam is shot at an upward angle so the thyroid isn't in the path of the beam, but it can get some back scattered radiation as the x-ray beam reflects off of teeth and bone.

[@lichas6876]

Can this xray read and intefections or cavitations & in the jaw?????????????

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, this x-ray is used to look for peri-apical radiolucency's, which could be infections or cysts. If your dentist is diagnosing cavitations, run away. quackwatch.org/related/cavitation/ www.ctdentalmalpractice.com/blog/2020/08/dental-malpractice-the-myth-of-holistic-dentistry-biological-dentistry-cavitations-and-neuralgia-inducing-cavitational-osteonecrosis-nico/

[@LILC63]

Just curious what this type of x-Ray would be used for? I had one of these quite a long time ago for braces.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, panoramic x-rays are used by orthodontists to check to see if all the adult teeth are present, they're used to check on the status of wisdom teeth, and they can be used for implant placement. For people without a lot of fillings or without periodontal disease, I'll recommend a pano and a set of bitewing x-rays instead of a full mouth series of x-rays. A full mouth series is typically 14 periapical x-rays and 4 bitewing x-rays of the teeth.

[@pashagaming5114]

Hi doctor! I have cross bite in canine. There is no gap to rotate it. What should I do for that to produce gap and rotate it.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Have you seen an orthodontist? What did they recommend?

[@pashagaming5114]

@@VeryNiceSmileDental he put braces . He want to cut the canine teeth and put crown on them. Is there another way to rotate it.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Sorry, I don't know the particulars of your situation. If you don't agree with what your orthodontist is suggesting, get a second and third opinion before you commit to treatment.

[@mnlets7036]

Wish you could look at the xray over got causing me loads of stress

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, sure, shoot me an email. You can find my email address on my website, www.verynicesmile.com

[@vchwelw.1501]

Hi Dr why didn’t you further pursue as dental specialist? I’ve always wanted to know why some stay as general dentist for years? Would love to hear from your perspectives

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, as a general dentist I can perform a variety of procedures, specialists only perform procedures that are part of their specialty. I enjoy the variety. If there was a certain procedure that I absolutely loved, I might have considered a specialty, but more years of additional schooling was not something I wanted to pursue right after dental school. Most specialty programs are another 2 to 6 years of training after dental school.

[@tanyajoshi005]

i got my x ray done few weeks back nd in one of my tooth it showed a cavity( on the inner side) i told my dentist about It, and then we had a separate x ray for that tooth, but that x ray showed no cavity? dentist told it might be a false call or something? is it possible???

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, it's possible. A panoramic x-ray isn't the best at showing decay. Bite wing x-rays or periapical x-rays are better. Traditional dental x-rays are 2D images of 3D structures. A CBCT scan will produce a 3D image. Those are usually done when implants are placed or if a tooth needs a root canal.

[@tanyajoshi005]

@@VeryNiceSmileDental thankyou so much for replying, i was really worried if I had a cavity or something!!!!

[@powerstuffup]

Dr. Is mental nerve in danger from a infection to a premolar infection?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Not usually. Dentists are more worried about the mental nerve during surgical procedures such as dental implant placement or gum surgery.

[@powerstuffup]

@@VeryNiceSmileDental ty. I been having a mouth discomfort since Premolar got decayed n still have it after root canal i feel it failed possibly but not sure as i get different opinions from multiple dentist. One saying its not infected other saying it is , and idk what to do (symptoms; dry mouth, irritated tongue n cheeks sensation, feels like pressure in mouth kinda) what should i do? I kinda wanna extract it but unsure if it is related to my situation

[@powerstuffup]

@@VeryNiceSmileDental but long question short. (Is it probable) that if it was infected it can cause some of those symptoms described ?

[@ellemclee8800]

❤thanks

[@Girlypopnails]

Very interesting

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Thanks for watching!

[@vanesslifeygo]

Aren't the TMJs here lacking of joint space? And isn't it a problem that their condyles are flattened instead of round/ball-like? But you called the console pointy and said the joint is alright

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, it looks like there is no space due to the way the patient was positioned in for the x-ray.

[@laurenclark1480]

I wish I could get your help. I'm still hurting so bad!

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi Lauren, I replied to your email.

[@fredrickkapanya]

Can I ask just one question

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, what's your second question?

[@raavilikhitha331]

How can we identify cavity inside the teeth in X-ray

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, on an X-ray a cavity will appear as a dark area. Thank you for the video idea. I will make a video showing cavities on various x-rays.

[@laurenclark1480]

How can you tell if dentures were cheaply made ? Mine are rough and taste awful no matter what. Burning sides of tongue.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi Lauren. If your denture is rough, your dentist should be able to smooth and polish it. I know we talked about allergies to denture acrylic. I've looked more into it and most people have a sensitivity to the monomer. Talk to your dentist about your situation. Have you seen a neurologist to rule out nerve issues?

[@laurenclark1480]

@Very Nice Smile Dental nobody will help and in debt so bad. Nothing left of me. I'm so scared and burning mouth. I can't believe how bad this is.

[@laurenclark1480]

@@VeryNiceSmileDental monomer free name?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

@@laurenclark1480 You could ask about using injectable rigid plastic resins like flexi material. Myerson and TCS make one, Valplast might work too. Also find a dentist that makes 3-d printed dentures or milled dentures. Those materials might be resin free.

[@laurenclark1480]

@Very Nice Smile Dental nobody here for that. Called labs and couldn't even recommend plus paid for two already. I'm in such a mess. Thank you.

Is it dangerous in future to do dental bridge in 16years old please sir reply ❤️
