Laser-assisted Detection Of Decay In General Dentistry
Keeping your teeth and having a good-looking smile does not just happen. Genetics certainly can play a role, but most people have to maintain their teeth and gums with the help of their dentist and hygienist.
Dental restorations or fillings do not last forever, and preventative sealants can wear out and mask underlying decay. With the help of a laser-assisted diagnostic instrument called the Diagnodent, we can better detect decay that is either hidden by sealants or unable to be detected with our dental explorers or x-rays.
Treating decay before it becomes large or symptomatic saves patients the misery of pain, as well as saves money on more expensive restorations. It is important to see your dentist regularly in order to keep your teeth feeling and looking good.
If you are looking for a caring family dentist in the Woodbury, St. Paul, Minneapolis or Hudson areas, please give Dr. Nippoldt a call at 651-739-8573.
