Early Tooth Decay Detection

One of the easiest ways to prevent the decline of your oral health is to maintain a regular schedule of having your teeth cleaned by our dental hygienist for early cavity detection Jacksonville.  

The Diagnodent is a gentle, safe, and painless laser device that evaluates the tooth surface and gives a numeric scale reading to let Dr. Edwards, Dr. Cavendish and Dr. Jones know if decay is present. Then, based on clinical judgement, treatment can be prescribed. Most importantly, early detection allows for early treatment thereby preventing more serious tooth destruction. Surprisingly, in some cases, local anesthetic, Novocain, may be unnecessary. Please ask a member of the dental team for further details.
