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 just beginning, and would have been missed by previous detection
methods. The DIAGNOdent is a small, portable laser unit that can detect
these cavities and alert us with an audible signal and also provide
a numerical readout, so we have an idea of it's size. The value is
that we can stop cavities in their infancy, whereas in the past they
would have to be significantly bigger 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.
