How does DIAGNOdent work?
DIAGNOdent is first calibrated to your unique tooth structure by scanning a cleaned tooth surface with a harmless laser beam. After calibration a team member will gently scan your teeth. A small countertop unit emits an audio signal and registers a digital read-out, which identifies cavities developing below the surface —the higher the amount of fluorescence detected by the machine, the greater the degree of decay within the tooth.
