X-rays: X-rays allow us to see between teeth and under the gums. It allows us to see cavities, angulation and orientation of the teeth, bone support, presence or absence of specific pathologies, and so many other things. Without x-rays we cannot see, and I for one will not treat blind. If you are concerned about radiation safety, talk to your Dentist.
