In many cases, problems such as cavities or other types of dental damage are easy to spot. But areas of tooth decay and other problems can be difficult to detect, even for your dentist. A crack in your tooth even one you can’t see, is still large enough to allow bacteria to penetrate your tooth and create an infection which can result in problems for your oral and overall health. But these problems can be caught and corrected before they become serious by using the CariVu system. Our dentist can see those types of problems in their earliest stages. The CariVu detection system involves a handheld device which is placed directly against the tooth. The tooth is then scanned with a near-infrared light, which allows the dentist to locate and address small problems before they become big, expensive ones. Talk to our dentist during your next visit to Evanston Family Dental about the CariVu detection system.
