Early Cavity Detection

Detect Invisible Decay with the Latest Laser Technology

Nearly everyone will get a cavity at some point in their life– no matter how thoroughly you brush or frequently you floss. A combination of your genetics, the alignment of your teeth and jaw, and other factors can lead to small cavities, even in people with otherwise outstanding dental health habits.

At Triunity Family Dental, we know the key to minimizing the damage caused by tooth decay is early detection and treatment. That’s why we use the DIAGNOdent® laser decay detection system. It allows us to find cavities not visible to the naked eye, as well as cavities in locations that are difficult to check using traditional methods.

Understanding Your Cavity Risk

There’s more to avoiding cavities than simply brushing and flossing regularly. In order to keep your teeth and mouth healthy, you need to look at the big picture and risk factors you may not be aware of. When you meet with Triunity Family Dental staff, we’ll talk with you about:

How the DIAGNOdent® system works and how it can help you
Any tooth decay he finds on your teeth
Risk factors that may predispose you to tooth decay
Your desire to maintain a natural, white, and healthy smile for a lifetime

Did You Know?

The DIAGNOdent® is especially useful because the fluoride in water and toothpaste can actually make small cavities very hard to detect. Visually inspecting the tooth, radiographic rays, or probing the tooth with a dental instrument isn’t a reliable way to discover the smallest cavities.

That’s why we use the DIAGNOdent® laser to find decay that other dentists may miss. The DIAGNOdent® uses painless beams of light to search out areas of decay. The sooner we find and treat your decay, the healthier your teeth and mouth will be.

How Teeth Whitening Works

1. We scan your teeth using the DIAGNOdent® system

2. The DIAGNOdent® laser emits harmless pulses of light that reflects off the surface of your teet

3. Cavities and areas of decay disrupt the light emitted by the DIAGNOdent®

4. The DIAGNOdent®’s digital readout lets us know the level of decay present

5. Additionally, when a cavity is detected, the DIAGNOdent® produces an audible signal

Advantages of Early Cavity Detection

At Triunity Family Dental, we believe an ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure. That’s why we use the latest technology, including the DIAGNOdent® laser to identify decay before serious damage is done. Other advantages of early cavity detection include:

Smaller cavities are easier to fill and require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure
Smaller cavities cost less to fill
Early detection means we can avoid root canals and other more involved treatments caused by extensive and unrecognized decay
