An x-ray is a radiograph, basically meaning it is an image made through radiation by electromagnetic waves. X-rays allow doctors of all kinds to see the interior of their patients for further examination.
X-rays can be used to examine bones, teeth and cavities, things that have been swallowed, and soft tissues like the lungs and intestines.

What do dentists use x-rays for?
Dentists use x-rays to see teeth from a different perspective. Through these x-rays, your dentist can identify oral problems including cavities, tooth decay, and impacted teeth (usually wisdom teeth). X-rays play an important role in dental examination and diagnosis.
