About X-Ray Left Submandibular – Occlusal View

X-Ray Left Submandibular – Occlusal View is a special view X-ray that examines the lower jawbone, soft tissues around the lower jaw, submandibular salivary gland duct (Wharton's duct), and the floor of the mouth on the left side. Common uses are to look for stones in the salivary glands (sialoliths), infection, fracture, and conditions of this area. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, advanced digital X-ray technology delivers high-quality images using reduced radiation dose and provides accurate diagnosis.

What is an X-Ray Left Submandibular – Occlusal View?

The X-ray Left Submandibular – Occlusal View exposes a small amount of X-ray radiation to get detailed pictures of the left floor of mouth and submandibular area. The X-ray film or digital detector is inserted into the mouth during the examination, and the image is captured from underneath the jaw, which allows for better visualization of any structures not visible on routine dental X-rays.

Common Reasons for an X-Ray Left Submandibular – Occlusal View

• Swelling below the left side of the jaw
• Pain during eating or swallowing
• Evaluation of submandibular gland disorders
• Suspected foreign body in the floor of the mouth
