What does shadow on x ray mean? I had to have x rays few days ago, at my dentist’s. He looked at the image and explained me that I had caries on my wisdom tooth in upper left side. He gave me that image. I can see my teeth, but can not figure these shadows?

Shadows on images are things that x rays can not travel through, like metal or bones. Like when you make the x ray image of the hand with the ring, you’ll see clearly the circle shadow at the place when ring is placed. Teeth absorb x rays and appear in image and metal absorbs even more x rays, that’s why you clearly can see feeling in tooth.
