Panoramic Dental X-Ray Procedure EXPLAINED

This video will show a panoramic x-ray being taken at the dentist. A Panoramic x-ray or PAN or PANO is a full-mouth image that captures your entire mouth - including your teeth, jaw, TMJ, and areas around your wisdom teeth.

Panoramic x-rays are usually taken prior to orthodontics (if you’re getting braces) or extractions (if you need to get a tooth pulled) and other various reasons such as to evaluate for implants and check for any pathologies in your mouth.

They are useful. I’ve been to my general dentist, did regular X-ray check and never found that I got a wisdom teeth until I went to my orthodontist.

This is superior scanning technology compared with the uncomfortable wing bite rays youre given with routine check ups. Highly recommended for any tooth extraction. Luminous charges NZ$120 for an OPG usually they cost up to $200 in NZ depending on the dentist.

I just got this done, And it’s not as bad as I thought it was.

I have to get my wisdom teeth removed on September 1st. And this video really helped. Because I have to get these exams next Friday for my wisdom teeth oral extractions.

I have done 10, 000 OPGs. What a pity the OPG shown was with the patients head tilted up about 10 degrees from optimal. That is why the incisors does show their roots and the bones in the roof of the mouth are projected over the roots of many of the top teeth. There is also some rotation, indicated by the wisdom teeth on the patients right appearing smaller than those on the left.

Must admit takes a small weight off my shoulders seeing this as I'm due to have this form of x-ray performed. I was mentally picturing a MRI machine but this is a lot less claustrophobic and terrifying

I just had one done a few hours ago. I resisted this for years, but the state of my teeth and 2 dental infections swollen had me go.
It's been a few hours and a tingling/ slightly burning sensation on the too of my head and at the back, plus an oppression in head, won't go away.

I so regret doing it. I have a little nausea too. I hate myself because I didn't want to do it.
I know radiation exposure is bad. I read articles that said this is in fact of little to no real utility in dental care.
But no dentist would accept to see me without one.
I hate myself.
I hope I'll be OK.
I went cause of my 3 y old boy. The discomfort and pain in my teeth wouldn't let me tc of him properly. Now I regret going and feel like I failed him ans myself. I feel I failed to tc of my health properly and subjecte myself to harmful radiation just out of pressure from this bloody pseudo modern medical system.

They should really remove that mirror. I was trying so hard not to move not trying to laugh at my goofy face.

[barbaramelady]

I think the special apron should also cover your neck to prevent radiation for the thyroid!

[flyrehash]

random question, but I never got my wisdom teeth removed; am I gonna have problems later in life?

[sl]

What's the most often these should be done?

[vrushtivaghasia]

I had this like a month ago..It was kinda wierd for me 😅

[roydodge]

I got this done prior to wisdom teeth consultation. Oral surgeon today said I need a cone beam scan. What is the difference between the two? Thank you

[kathrinemattebjerg]

I tried this 4 years ago when I got braces. It was actually pretty funny to see my mouth that way

[melonypullen]

So this is the only X-ray I can do because of gag reflex

[railroadhistoryarchives]

My x-ray played ballerina music when it went around me. I busted up laughing

[thebugacademy]

i'm just glad i could find this, it is so advanced these days, i think we are all very lucky for these advancements, i do have a question though, i have been told the only way one can have this procedure in the UK is you must be refered by a legitimate dentist within the UK, that's of course if you live in the UK, is this true, ? the other thing is i would like a copy of this panoramic x-ray sent to my email, so i can then get a valuation of work needed from other dentists,

[kelceynicole]

Hi Whitney! if the patient has an appliance, do they need to remove it? I hope you see this lol bc I’m not sure whether I should have the patients remove it or not.

[justanawkwardddlcfan]

I have vivid memories of getting one of these as a kid and trying to compare the noises it made to other stuff so I didn't freak out as much 😂

[ksjsjhssk]

Hello I just want to know if dentist need to do xray first before doing fillings? I went to the dentist to have my teeth filled its just a super small decay by looking at it it looks like its only in the enamel, no xray yet and the dentist said it might be rct? Im worried because my teeth doesnt even hurt at all or any symptoms for root canal and im worried it might just give me problems in the future, or the dentist just said this to make sure before doing the filling we need the xray first?
