Dr. Vafa and his entire team believe in addressing minor problems before they become major issues. That’s why we use our DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection system. Unlike probing and visual exams, the DIAGNOdent detects cavities too small to be seen by the naked eye. Cavities that start small but could become big problems if detected too late. The DIAGNOdent represents a conservative approach to preventive dentistry. By measuring laser fluorescence within tooth structure at a wavelength of 655 nm, healthy tooth structure will appear normal, while tooth structure with cavities will exhibit fluorescent signals and very high scale readings. The DIAGNOdent is a leading solution to stopping cavities and tooth decay, the number one cause of tooth loss in children. |
