Abstract—Dentists often rely on dental X-rays to spot cavities, bone loss, and hidden dental issues not visible to the naked eye. These X-rays help catch problems early and create effective treatment plans. We look at three types of X-rays: bitewing, periapical, and panoramic. Bitewing X-rays show part of the upper and lower teeth and help find bone density changes due to gum disease. Periapical X-rays show all teeth and help check the bone and roots in the upper and lower jaw. We also use technology to determine a patient's age and detect early signs of oral cancer from these X-rays. This survey summarizes how technology improves dental care by helping dentists diagnose and treat oral health problems effectively. It's a win-win for both dentists and patients.
