If you have had good check-ups in the past but then at your next appointment the dentist found a large cavity that wasn’t there just months before, you may be wondering how that happened. The cavity was there before, but wasn’t detectable with X-rays or visual inspection. Dr. Bielawski uses the laser scanner to detect even the smallest cavity when it can still be restored with a very small filling. Some cavities are even reversible if found early. Dr. Bielawski often places them “on watch” instead of advising immediate restorations. This laser detection system is crucial in finding them early. Patients may complain of pain or tooth sensitivity, and X-rays will reveal nothing. The laser scanner pinpoints the source of the problem so we can provide the correct treatment to eliminate the pain and keep your smile healthy.
