It depends upon the experience of the dentist , it's not necessary to take X-RAY always the condition can be judged without it also, but sometimes it is required for distinguishing minute things.....If you feel x-ray is must for you then you can consult from another dentist.

hello, you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. get an x-ray done. if there is cavity, you can get it filled. If there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated, then get a crown placed over it.

Most of the times a clinician experience is more than enough to judge a condition...X-ray just adds to confirming the diagnosis...But most probably in your case an X-ray wasn't required to arrive at a diagnosis... Take care

Hello, X-RAYS will always confirm the depth of the cavity and whether the decay is close to or involving the tooth pulp.Based on these findings the treatment protocol is finalised.Regards,Dr Sumanmakam.dental arts,jayanagar,B'lore.
