Scranton, PA Dentist John Coolican DMD, FAGD Uses DIAGNOdent Classic Laser Detection to Target Cavities

Patients place value on healthy and attractive teeth. In order to maintain them, the earliest possible care is essential. With the DIAGNOdent Classic Laser model, Dr. John Coolican, DMD, FAGD can detect caries (cavities) accurately and efficiently.

Cavities are permanently damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes. Also known as tooth decay or caries, these cavities are caused by a combination of factors, including bacteria in your mouth, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks, and not cleaning your teeth well.

DIAGNOdent Laser Detection aids in the detection of caries. Even very small lesions and incipient caries can be detected, enabling the patient to protect and preserve the tooth substance. Operation of the DIAGNOdent Laser involves cleaning the tooth surfaces preferably with an air polishing device to completely remove plaque, stains and calculus from fissure areas. Afterwards, the tooth is dried and Dr. Coolican performs a clinical examination (scanning of tooth surface). The last step involves evaluating the quantitative measurement of DIAGNOdent. The device's ability to see into occlusal pits and fissures enables Dr. Coolican to treat sub-surface caries lesions with confidence.

DIAGNOdent has the great advantage of detecting caries in the very early stage by measuring the laser fluorescence within the tooth structure without using an x-ray. Whether you need simple convenient emergency care or extensive treatment, Dr. John Coolican, DMD, FAGD guarantees a high level of patient acceptance and satisfaction.
