Dental x-ray will help you in determining the cause of dental pain. It will show you the extent of damage caused by the cavity.

Dental x-ray will also determine fracture, if present. Dental x-ray is also helpful to diagnose any sort of cyst present in badly infected tooth. It also serves as a record for your treatment done.
