At Lowell Animal Hospital, we provide digital dental radiography as a standard part of every dog and cat dental cleaning. These full-mouth X-rays allow us to look beneath the gumline—where nearly 60% of dental disease hides—and detect hidden problems such as infections, tooth root abscesses, bone loss, and more. This non-invasive diagnostic tool ensures your pet receives the most complete and effective dental care possible.
Even if your pet’s teeth appear healthy on the surface, underlying issues could be developing below. Digital dental radiographs help us catch these problems early—before they cause pain, tooth loss, or more serious health concerns.
Dental radiography helps us visualize areas we can’t see during a standard oral exam. This includes the tooth roots, jawbone, and areas under the gumline. These X-rays can uncover:
Periodontal disease
Fractured roots
Oral tumors or cysts
Resorptive lesions (common in cats)
Retained baby teeth
Impacted or missing teeth
During your pet’s dental cleaning under anesthesia, we take a series of full-mouth X-rays to evaluate each tooth and surrounding bone structure. Our veterinarian then reviews the images and determines if any extractions or treatments are necessary—keeping your pet’s comfort and long-term health top priority.
