DIAGNOdent Laser Cavity Detection

This instrument is completely SAFE AND PAIN FREE! Diagnosing cavities beneath the hard surfaces of the teeth can be challenging because the disease process can start through microscopic defects in the hard surface of the tooth and quickly spread into the softer inner tooth structure. The DIAGNOdent uses lasers to detect hidden decay before it destroys tooth structure (from the inside out). This unique instrument is a pen like probe that simply glides over the tooth surfaces, while constantly checking the health of the tooth. A number scale and an alarm signal the dentist or hygienist when there are signs of hidden decay. Dr. Grabill can then, with proper treatment, stop the spread of disease before it destroys your tooth from within.
