Nov 04, 2013 /prREACH/ -- Nashua, NH family dentist, Dr. Scott Bobbitt, recently introduced DIAGNOdent laser technology that is helping to improve the early detection of cavities. Created by KaVo, the DIAGNOdent Laser Detection Caries Aid is the most advanced dental technology available that allows for more preservation of natural teeth because of its ability to detect cavities in their earliest stages.
Compared to traditional x-rays used to find cavities and tooth decay, the results from the DIAGNOdent laser are 90 percent more accurate in exposing cavities that need to be treated to prevent further decay.
“At our practice, we’re dedicated to helping patients understand and control their lifetime dental health, and this new cavity detection technology is helping us achieve that goal with our patients,” said Nashua, NH laser dentist Dr. Scott Bobbitt. “Finding cavities in their earliest stages means we can keep more of the healthy tooth, and create a maintenance plan based on our findings to help patients continually improve their oral health.”
The DIAGNOdent laser uses fluorescence to expose bacteria present on a tooth that is developing cavities. Unlike traditional preliminary manual exams for cavities, the DIAGNOdent laser is quick, painless, and doesn’t scratch. The device is handheld and looks similar to a pen, allowing for easy maneuverability within the patient’s mouth.
Detecting cavities in their earliest stages also means that Dr. Bobbitt is able to use less invasive methods for treating the cavities, providing the patient with a much more comfortable visit.
Besides using DIAGNOdent laser technology for preventative and reconstructive care, Dr. Bobbitt is also a highly experienced dental implants dentist in Nashua, NH. He and his staff provide a variety of other laser-based treatments and therapies, in addition to services such as oral surgery, dentures, root canals, cosmetic dentistry, oral appliances for snoring and sleep apnea, and more. They are dedicated to providing the latest treatments and technology for their patients to help them attain optimal oral health.
Dr. Scott Bobbitt completed his dental education at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine and shortly afterward became a United States Air Force Dental Corp. Captain. He has been practicing dentistry for nearly 25 years and throughout the course of his career has participated in extensive continuing dental education courses for advanced training in prosthetics, oral appliances, oral surgery, and more. He has been awarded both a Fellowship and Mastership from the Academy of General Dentistry and an Associate Fellowship from the World Clinical Laser Institute.
