Dentists in the past  have heavily relied on 2D x-rays to diagnose all dental problems such as decay and tooth pain. With the advance of modern technology, 3D x-rays, called Cone Beam CT, is now able to offer more accurate, less invasive care in many dental procedures, whilst utilizing less radiation. 

Wisdom teeth make their first appearance between the ages of 16 and 25 and after that, they’re nothing but trouble.

If they emerge impacted or angled, they cause pain, swelling, gum infections, or even decay on surrounding teeth. But because wisdom teeth removal procedures can force you through weeks of recovery, many busy professionals (or even those who fear anaesthesia) will put off the procedure, treating the symptoms with antibiotics and painkillers without addressing the real issue: The wisdom teeth.
