What to Know About Dental Diagnostics
By Wave Agency
Everyone’s mouth and oral history are different. It is up to experience dentists such as Dr. Kilimitzoglou of e.s.i. Healthy Dentistry to determine if a patient’s health is being negatively impacted by any ongoing oral health issues.
e.s.i.’s Healthy Dentistry’s Dr. Kilimitzoglou is an expert within the dental field and has always sought to educate others on best practices when it comes to oral health. The ability to properly read the data that one’s health provides for doctors is an important one, as it allows professionals to make the right diagnoses. It is also important to have the right dental team behind you, so look no further than e.s.i. for your dental needs.
There are a variety of ways that dental practitioners may find out about your body’s health. From your mouth’s acidity levels to studying the number of bad bacteria within you. Dental experts can help to accurately diagnose what is going on with your body by researching your current and prior health very effectively.
Commonly used for dental diagnostics are x-rays, something that can reveal what eyes cannot. There is always concern about radiation among some patients and what it can do to the body, but it should be noted that dental x-rays take many precautions into account, and bad effects from x-rays are generally negligible.
“The million-dollar question is “do dental x-rays cause cancer?” writes Dr. K. “Living things, humans included, are used to being exposed to this ever-present background radiation, so they adapt and constantly repair the damage caused by it. … Weighing the pros and cons are imperative. If the pros far outweigh the cons, in the name of health, we obtain radiographs.”
Exposure to very moderate levels of radiation to provide a thorough scan of your mouth can ultimately be the difference between life and death. Through dental x-rays and other diagnostic tools, finding what the naked eye cannot is imperative, and ultimately beneficial. Dentists can study the diagnostics of your body to better your health.
For all of your dental needs, Dr. K and the e.s.i. Healthy Dentistry team has your back.
