It would probably be hard if it's lingual or distal (in between your teeth).

Only larger fractures xrayed at the correct angle are visible on xrays. THere are other methods to check for fractures in addition to xrays. Those who said 100% are 100% wrong. Can you take a picture of a crack in your wall from around a corner?

They're NOT 100%. More like 98%.

Very reliable but not 100%. Sometimes even experienced general practice dentists send x-rays to a specialist for a second opinion. Remember, medicine is both an art and a science.

Quite, teeth are like any other bone although you can usually see or even feel fractures teeth.
