Lasers can be used to diagnose cavities. They can find hidden decay in teeth in early stages, and in some cases the decay can be reversed through hygiene and fluoride treatment and may never need filling. We employ the use of a laser assisted instrument called Diagnodent©. This new tool has proven to be an effective addition to our arsenal for the purpose of identifying decay before it is visible to the eye or on x-ray.
