CBCT 3d cone scan
Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2026 6:25 am
Hello just sharing information .
I did so many dental X‑rays and nobody found my extra tooth until I got a CBCT scan
For years I’ve had bad breath (since age
. from nose and mouth Multiple dentists. Multiple regular X‑rays (panoramic, periapical). Nothing.
Then I finally did a CBCT scan (3D dental scan).
Turns out I have a mesiodens – an extra, impacted tooth – sitting inverted between my two upper front teeth, with the root tip touching my nasal sinus area.
Regular X‑rays are 2D. My tooth was hidden because it was overlapped by my normal teeth and out of frame (too high up). CBCT is 3D – it sees
everything.
i dont know what to do , its setting right next to my sinus , i have talked to my friend who is a dentist , he advised no to remove it because its very close to my sinus ,i could develop bigger problems.any advice
