A large number of people clench or grind their teeth. If you do so, you may or may not be aware of it.

Diagnodent is a tool that has been developed to assist in the detection of caries lesions. This helps to enable the detection of even the smallest of lesions, meaning that they can be treated in their early stages before allowed to become a major issue. The tool works by effectively differentiating between healthy tooth structure and teeth that are affected from caries. This works through the increase in the levels of fluorescence, which the detection aid reads and transfers to a meter. This enables us to detect decay in the very early stages so that we can protect and preserve the tooth tissue or if intervention is needed, can do this using minimally invasive techniques.

This is a device that delivers ozone gas in a controlled manner for use in dental procedures. This gas is lethal to micro-organisms. It penetrates through enamel and dentin affected by caries and kills 99% of the bacteria. Healing of the tooth structure takes place with natural minerals found in the saliva or they can be applied in the form of neutral reductant fluid rich in tooth hardening minerals. We may recommend a home care kit as well. It is usually indicated for the treatment of early decay, root caries and root sensitivity. It may also be used to disinfect deep caries before restoring them and to disinfect the root canal system in addition to mechanical cleaning with traditional methods.
