Laser Tooth-Decay Detection

At your next appointment we’ll be happy to discuss all your dental options in detail with you.
While x-rays and probing instruments are important tools for identifying tooth decay, a laser that detects cavities can uncover even the smallest amounts of decay in the hardest-to-reach places. The DIAGNodent utilizes a laser-probe hand piece that emits pulsed light of a known wavelength on tooth surfaces. Once a baseline measurement of the patient’s healthy tooth surfaces is established, further examination of potentially problematic areas creates changing levels of fluorescent light, which the unit’s internal processor interprets. An audible signal warns of an indication of caries (tooth decay). The laser unit can also be used to keep track of early symptoms of tooth decay, which translates into earlier treatment and better tooth preservation.

DIAGNOdent is the revolutionary new way to find even the smallest areas of tooth decay. By using this new technology, the office of Richard Seidler, D.D.S. - Family Dentistry is able to target and treat all of your small problem areas before they turn into larger issues that require more complicated procedures.
