Laser Reflection Finds Imperfection—Aids in Correction
Providing the absolute best service to our patients is one of our goals. We have therefore acquired a brand new, high tech tool that allows us to find cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, even when they are just beginning, and would have been missed by previous detection methods. The DIAGNOdent is a small, portable laser unit that can detect these cavities, alert us with an audible signal, and also provide a numerical readout, so we have an idea of the size of the cavity. The value is that we can stop cavities in their infancy, whereas in the past they would have to be significantly larger before we could find and treat them. Just like other areas of medicine and dentistry, early detection and treatment is of immeasurable value in preserving your health.
