How It Works

What Is X-Ray Free Cavity Diagnosis?

X-ray free cavity diagnosis uses non-radiographic technology and a careful clinical exam to help detect possible cavities. This approach can be especially helpful for families who want to limit dental X-rays when they are not necessary for diagnosis or treatment planning.

Our pediatric dentist may use X-ray free diagnostic methods to evaluate certain surfaces of the teeth, checking suspicious areas and early signs of decay. If a cavity is suspected, Dr. Daghlian will explain what she sees and whether the tooth can be monitored, protected or treated.
