We use DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection to find cavities in the earliest stages, and often that means that you won't see or feel them. Early detection allows us to provide the most conservative treatment, which saves you time, expense, and possible discomfort. Oral cancer will strike 30-thousand people this year. While it is a deadly disease, early detection offers an 80-percent survival rate. Gum disease is another sneaky problem that we try to catch early. It has been linked to stroke, heart attack, osteoporosis, and other health risks, and it is the leading cause of tooth loss in American adults.
