Can the machine taking chest radiographs take pictures of teeth?

The machine for taking chest radiographs generally refers to the X-ray machine, which is mainly used to take X-ray images of the chest to help doctors diagnose chest diseases. Dental X-ray machine, also known as oral X-ray machine, is generally used for dental photography and is specially used for taking X-ray images of teeth and oral tissues.

Although X-ray machines can produce X-rays to shoot images, there are great differences in design between chest X-ray machines and dental X-ray machines. Chest radiography machine is usually equipped with a larger bed and machine size to meet the needs of chest photography; Dental X-ray machine is smaller and more flexible, which is suitable for oral photography.

Therefore, the machine for taking chest radiographs cannot be used to take pictures of teeth, and special dental X-ray machines are needed to take pictures of teeth. If you need to take photos of your teeth, it is recommended to go to a dental hospital or a dental clinic. Professional dentists will use a dental X-ray machine to take photos.
