Diagnodent - The Diagnodent detects decay so early that it allows it to be treated with minimal tooth preparation. A real plus! When a filling is surrounded by significant amounts of natural tooth structure, the tooth overall is stronger, and the filling is less subject to wear. Our dental hygiene department is routinely using the Diagnodent for early caries detection, if indicated, at our patients' recall visits. It is quick and painless. It is particularly valuable for young adults. We’re excited about the Diagnodent and its amazing ability to detect even the tiniest cavity under the enamel!
