Although radiographs are very important for a thorough examination, we have gone to great length and expense to remain conservative in their use. We are happy to work with copies from previous treaters and we now provide the high tech and widely sought after digital radiography, which uses a computer to reduce the radiation exposure by 80%. In addition, we have incorporated the use of a laser called Diagnodent, which is able to detect decay on any surface it can touch, without the use of an x-ray.

Today dental offices are able to offer an alternative which is quickly becoming a favorite among dentists and patients. The product is a Calcium-phosphate material that not only strengthens soft tooth structure but desensitizes various around receded gums. Most patients are much more accepting of calcium and view it as being safer to use than its original predecessor, fluoride.

According to the American Dental Association over 25% of oral cancers occur in people who do not smoke and have no other risk factors. The Vizilite, an exam which is offered in our office, uses an acetic acid (vinegar-based) product to dry the tissue making abnormalities highly visible to a fluorescent light wand that pin points previously unseen abnormalities. It is nice to know that something so simple and unobtrusive can be a life-saving technology. More information: www.vizilite.com
