When it comes to overall health, prevention is always better than cure. That is why procedures are being revolutionized for early detection of possible diseases that are developing. We at The Holistic Dental Center find Kavo Diagnodent to be especially useful. That is why we recommend the use for diagnosing decay at its earliest stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is DIAGNOdent?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A Diagnodent is a device developed to detect the earliest sign of decay before it even causes problems. The detection of a cavity is challenging especially to those areas that are not fully visible to the naked eye or even x-rays. <\/span><\/p>\n

How does DIAGNOdent work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A Diagnodent is a pen-shaped detecting device that emits a high tech laser fluorescence that is used to scan each tooth for possible decays. A dentist can distinguish an affected tooth structure since when the laser scans it would show fluorescence. As to a healthy tooth, the fluorescence shown is little to none. The Diagnodent will measure the amount of fluorescence to each tooth, and with the aid of a small countertop unit it would record and produce a digital readout to inform the dentist that tooth that is infected and needs attention.<\/span><\/p>\n
