An oral radiologist is a dental specialist who uses imaging technology, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI, to diagnose and treat dental and oral diseases. They use these images to detect and diagnose problems such as tooth decay, tumors, cysts, and impacted teeth. They interpret these images to provide information about the location, extent and nature of a problem. They also use imaging to guide surgical procedures and monitor treatment progress. They work closely with other dental specialists, such as oral surgeons, endodontists and orthodontists, to provide a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan for their patients. They also play a critical role in the early detection of oral cancer and other serious oral diseases. They also provide consultative services to other dental specialists and conduct research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases.
