Radiographs: Radiographs are another tool to help your dentist identify carious lesions. Together with a visual inspection most every lesion can be diagnosed and restored. There are also other electronics that can measure the density of the enamel to determine areas that may have issues.

Cavities: Cavities are holes in teeth, beginning on the surface and penetrating inward, caused by bacteria. They are in, not on, the teeth. De natal x-rays are a safe and effective diagnostic tool that Dentists use to see into the interior of the teeth, as well as other anatomic structures. If your Dentist discovers cavities on your x-rays, ask him/her to point them out to you.
