Laser technology is becoming quite commonplace in a wide variety of areas throughout the healthcare industry; but did you know that it can now be used to detect tooth decay? Today, using a small, handheld device, it is possible to detect tooth decay that is not yet visible and would otherwise be undiagnosed by conventional methods alone.
Plus, traditional methods of detecting tooth decay are much more accurate and efficient when laser technology is included by your dentist. You can expect:
- dramatically improved early cavity detection
- reduced size and possibly number of fillings that might be needed, thus possibly lowering the cost of dental treatments
- reduced chances of unnecessary exploration of teeth that are suspected to have cavities
