Dr. Reid uses the Diagnodent Laser to detect decay in teeth without the picking and poking!
Locating hidden decay before it destroys tooth structure (from the inside out) is a major goal at River Hills Dentistry. Finding cavities beneath the hard surfaces is challenging because the disease process can start through microscopic defects in the hard surface can spread into the softer tooth structure beneath the surface.
Recently FDA approved this amazing laser cavity finder which instantly and accurately finds cavities in areas x-rays rarely see and the dental pick misses 76% of the time.
Diagnodent is a major breakthrough that allows us to monitor the areas below the hard surfaces. We can now locate hidden decay, and with treatment stop the spread of the disease before it destroys the tooth from within.
