I don't know if this works, but I'm giving it a try anyway. Here
is a scan of my X-rays. Can dentists here see any cavities from
the x-rays?

Here's the story. I went one dentist, he did these x-rays and a
close examination of my teeth and told me I have two cavities to
be fixed.
Since it was only my second visit to this dentist. I went to
another dentist to get a second opinion. Without telling him
about the cavities. This new dentist had his assistant, who has
15 years dental-hygienist experience, to take some small sized
x-rays (not the whole mouth x-ray) and cleaned my teeth. The
assistant said my teeth were good and I had no cavities.
So I have two answers so far: two and none. That's my hint to
you. I don't want to be confused more by dentists. So please
don't tell me another different answer like "you actually have
three cavities."
Hope this works. Thanks for your help.
* Note one rectangular white spot on one of the x-rays is a fixed
cavity from 5 years ago.
The first (panoramic) x-ray as seen in the jpg is useless for diagnosing cavities.
The second set is not well-shown. However, the rearmost upper tooth on the two x-rays on the left of the screen appears to have a very large cavity. Please note that some cavities will be apparent on visual inspection that will not be obvious on even good x-rays.
