One of our newest technologies is a small laser instrument called
the DIAGNOdent, which scans your teeth with harmless laser light
searching for hidden cavities. Diagnosing cavities beneath the hard
surfaces of enamel is challenging because it can start through microscopic
defects and pits in the enamel, and can readily spread into the
softer tooth structure beneath the surface. Fortunately, the new
DIAGNOdent is a major breakthrough that allows the dentist to locate
hidden cavities, and with treatment stop the spread of disease before
it destroys the tooth from within.
