Dental Sealants in Raleigh
Dental sealants are used in dental offices every day. They are one of the most common treatments performed. Sealants help prevent decay from occurring on the chewing surfaces of teeth, especially on young children who have not yet mastered the art of brushing their teeth. Dental sealants have been around for nearly 50 years and became popular in the 1970s as a method of preventing cavities from forming. Sealants are often applied to the back teeth, or molars because that is where people typically have a hard time brushing and flossing correctly. These teeth also have deep crevices where food gets trapped.
Diagnodent
Dentists rely on many examination methods to determine the presence of tooth decay in a patient's mouth. X-rays are one of the most common methods of finding hidden tooth decay, as well as visual examination for larger areas of decay. Diagnodent is a laser product that is being used in many dental clinics today.
Diagnodent uses fluorescent laser light to find hidden tooth decay, even in early stages of development. This means that dentists can discover and treat tooth decay faster and easier than ever before.
When teeth can be treated early, the risk of losing the tooth due to decay is reduced. Many people lose teeth to undetected tooth decay, and it can be devastating to have to have a tooth extracted because of a problem you didn't even know about in the first place.
Diagnodent technology is saving patients time, money, and above all else, their teeth. With over 90% accuracy, the chances of finding hidden dental decay are greatly increased, and that is comforting for patients to know.
