Hello,
So I had these xrays taken a year ago and was told I had a LOT of teeth needing work done.
The exact amount seemed really excessive to me and I’m just anxious about it- Would anyone be able to tell me if there are actual visible caries in the radiographs or if I was scammed…?:(
If anyone experienced with this stuff could tell me their thoughts I’d be grateful.

My x-rays:

@chatounette these images aren't showing up great for me unfortunately. I can say that I see at least one clear radiolucency and likely two but I would never judge by xrays alone. Some decay or cavities don't necessarily show up on them and so that is only part of the picture. There is also non carious tooth surface loss to consider and any restorations made on that basis would be beneficial for preventing further loss. Beyond that I can't make any comment as dental diagnosis is very much multi factorial. Hopefully the work you had done is settled.
Kind Regards
Jodie
