Ask us for help to refer to **the best dentist**... As mentioned, there are different types of photos taken of teeth and each one is considered for different operations... The types of taking photos of teeth can be introduced as follows:

This imaging provides the dentist with a complete view from the root to the tooth enamel.... The dentist can also measure the condition of the gums with this type of imaging.... Abscess, tooth and gum infection, abnormality in tooth growth, and such things are among the things that the dentist can measure with periapical imaging. ### External X-ray imaging In external x-ray imaging, the overall condition of the jaw and teeth, including **wisdom teeth**, is measured, and with its help, the growth status of the teeth can be checked... You can also check the dental arches with x-rays... Another use of x-rays is to observe the empty areas of the teeth and the condition of the teeth.. ### Digital photos of teeth One of the most popular methods of photography that we discuss in the introduction of dental photography is digital photography..

Another advantage of this type of imaging is that you can examine the entire skull of the person and think about the necessary actions. ### CT scan of teeth Dental CT scan is one of the other methods of taking pictures of teeth... In CT scanning, three-dimensional images can be taken of teeth and the state of bones, respiratory tracts and implant design and orthodontic treatment methods can be fully examined... This method is considered one of the common and widely used methods.

Photography of teeth by tomogram method When the tissues prevent seeing the dental parts, one of the methods that can be used to see the teeth is a tomogram... a tomogram is also a type of X-ray and has many applications in determining the direction of the jaw and things like that.
