Gone are the days when most do some guessing work when it comes to dental procedure because of the lack of the right dental equipment. If you grew up watching movies with a dentist mistakenly pulling the wrong tooth in the movie, you may find that these days, it is not a known joke anymore.
Procedures in the dental field these days are more reliable than ever since there are new equipment being used by most dental offices. The use of these new dental equipment also gave way for more patients to rely on their dentists. For instance, most dental offices even way back used dental x-ray units. The problem however, with the old type of the old models is that it takes time to process them, it needs films and chemicals, it needs a dark room to process its result, and it is at times not precise.
These days because everything is digital, dental x-rays went just the same. Now we can mostly find dental offices with having digital dental x-ray that is mostly helpful in giving precise analysis of dental problems.
One of the best products, that is even given several awards by various groups is the Spectra Caries Detection Aid. This equipment is similar to the dental x-ray although far different and far advance. Instead of using films and chemicals, this dental equipment uses a hand held device that is a non-invasive imaging instrument. It can detect early detect caries and with the use of LED projecting high-energy light onto the tooth surface. When light go fluoresce red it means that the tooth or teeth is infected with caries, if it goes green it means that the tooth or teeth are healthy.
Having dental x-ray for most patients is also considered important since this will determine the needed next action patients have to undertake and with the latest type of digital dental equipment, more and more patients will feel educated as they can see the progress of their teeth with new type of digital x-rays to show them their progress.
