If you've had cavities form in hard-to-see places before, or you simply want the earliest possible warning before a small problem grows, it's worth mentioning at your next checkup. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons can screen for early decay using a small laser device that often catches cavities before they'd show up on an X-ray or be visible to the eye.
Signs You Should Bring It Up
How We Evaluate at The Holistic Dental Center
Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons glides the small DiagnoDent tip across your teeth during your regular visit. It uses light, not radiation, to flag early decay that might not show up on an X-ray or be visible yet. There's no discomfort and no extra prep — it's built right into your checkup.
What Happens Next
If something is flagged, your dentist will talk through your options right away, often while you're still in the chair. Catching decay early usually means a simpler, smaller treatment later. To get on the schedule for a checkup, call us at (509) 325-2051.
