Diagnodent Laser
Finding disease is often an inexact science. Sometimes
it is just educated guess work. However, technology is giving us a better
view of problems at an earlier stage. The Diagnodent laser system is
a new breakthrough in dental disease detection. Before its use about
fifty percent of cavities went unnoticed. Now ‘suspicious’ areas that
look like stains but might be decay become know entities.
Dr. Hoffmann uses the Diagnodent laser light to harmlessly,
and precisely, find unhealthy areas on the teeth. One of the most difficult
areas to detect this is on the chewing surfaces. Because we can now
uncover disease in these areas more consistently we can prevent more
tooth loss. All this is done safely, painlessly and without exposure
to x-rays.
