2. Diagodent: Laser Cavity Detection
 |
The Diagodent is an amazing tool that uses a laser to help us detect tooth decay. Look in your mouth; you will see lots of little brown grooves on the top or sides of your teeth. These dark grooves have stumped dentists since we started. In the past we had to diagnose tooth decay by sticking a sharp instrument into it and seeing if it stuck. The problem with this method was that only detected tooth decay when it was big enough to get the instrument into it. The Diagnodent assigns a numeric value to the groove and if that reaches a certain threshold, we know its time to work on it. However, if it’s below that number we may be able to remineralize it and never have to fill it. Most of the fillings detected early by the Diagnodent can be treated without a shot and without a drill, by using the Waterlase. By finding these cavities early, we have helped hundreds of patients avoid deep fillings, root canals, crowns and even extractions.
