DIAGNOdent™ in Beecroft – How It Works
A DIAGNOdent laser is a small handheld device used to detect the onset of tooth decay at the earliest stages – often before it can be seen with the naked eye. Designed to reveal microscopic changes within the structure of a tooth, DIAGNOdent treatment in Beecroft has the ability to identify problematic tooth caries long before any other examination method.
So how does it work?
Using a harmless beam of infrared light, the DIAGNOdent laser device transmits electromagnetic waves across the enamel of your teeth. Any changes in the baseline wavelength and the machine will alert the dentist. When the wavelength is lower it indicates microscopic changes in the structure of the tooth enamel. This, in turn, indicates that the enamel is flawed and that the potential formation of a tooth cavity may be present.

DIAGNOdent™ Laser in Beecroft – How It Can Help Patients
In essence, when decay is detected in the very early stages, it allows our Beecroft dentist to treat the problem using conservative measures. Smaller restorations can be used keeping the main tooth intact.
In addition, when a patient receives regular scanning using DIAGNOdent in Beecroft, the cost for any ongoing restorative dental treatment is likely to be relatively low. Unlike other parts of the body, teeth are incapable of self-repair and this is why diseased or decayed teeth are best treated as early as possible.
