Dental health is very important, which means visiting a dentist on a regular basis is highly recommended. With modern day advancements in dental technology, making and going to an appointment has become less stressful. Dentists who are up-to-date with dental technology can actually help make your dental visit pleasurable.
DIAGNOdent:
Many patients have had to endure the uncomfortable experience of dental probing tools. DIAGNOdent is a handheld laser device that aids in the detection of cavities. This innovation gives your dentist a chance to check for tooth decay without the need to use a probe. Small lesions can be detected at an early stage which means you can save your tooth before the decay enlarges. Protecting and preserving your teeth have never been simpler.
Intra-Oral Photographs:
Another great advancement in general dentistry is the intra-oral camera. This is a diagnostic equipment that allows dentists to visualize parts of your mouth that an X-Ray won’t necessarily show. It is a digital camera made specifically for the mouth; this camera has a built in light source and can magnify an image by about 25 times. Intra-oral cameras are great because they can show patients areas of their mouth that are not visible when looking in the mirror (i.e. their wisdom teeth, the back portion of their upper and lower teeth, in between areas, and etc…). At Dr. Kezian’s office, intra-oral pictures appear on the screen right after they are taken. This way, the doctor and the patient can review areas of the patient’s teeth together.
The use of new dental technology helps dentists give precise diagnosis and treatment to the patients. Not only do these equipments aid the doctor, but they are great for the patients too. Why not opt for time-saving, simpler dental visits? Call Dr. Kezian’s office for a free consultation and take advantage of the use of these new innovations, you’ll be glad you did.
