An Oral Radiologist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing diseases, conditions, and abnormalities of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures using imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. They interpret radiographic images to detect issues such as infections, tumors, bone disorders, and developmental anomalies.

Expertise in using advanced imaging systems such as digital X-rays, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and radiology analysis software is essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are valuable soft skills for interpreting images and consulting with dental professionals. These competencies are crucial for accurate diagnoses, ensuring patient safety, and supporting treatment planning within dental healthcare teams.
