Full Mouth Series: This is needed to find conditions such as cysts, tumors, gum disease or abscesses that exist in the bone surrounding the teeth. It is used to determine the health of the teeth and the nerve tissue within the teeth, and can be employed as a comparison for the future if any problems should arise.

Panoramic X-ray: Is one X-ray that provides a full picture of your whole mouth- complete upper and lower jaw; sinuses and jaw joint. It is not as specific as the other X-rays because its purpose is to show the general condition of all the teeth. It is used to help view- general tooth development; trauma; jaw joint pain; wisdom teeth and certain abnormalities. It will give a broad view but does not provide the fine detail that Bite-Wings or P.A.s provide.
