All of this can be thought of as fitting under the category of preventive dentistry. Through regular visits, we can monitor your smile for signs of gum disease and provide treatment early if we find anything. With more developed cases, Arestin can help you prevent gum disease from affecting your overall health.\r\n\r\nGiven our recent focus, there\u2019s another preventive service we\u2019d like you to be aware of. It\u2019s a simple device known as DIAGNOdent<\/a>. Using this tool, Dr. Latner<\/a> is able to diagnose signs of decay very early on, when it can be hard to see with a traditional visual exam.\r\n\r\nThe DIAGNOdent<\/strong> device, which was developed by KaVo<\/a>, uses a handpiece and an audio signal to detect areas of weakness. If anything is found, Dr. Latner<\/strong> can put together a treatment plan immediately.\r\n\r\nCatching decay early is an important part of preserving oral health. The more decayed a tooth becomes, the more of your natural smile you\u2019ll lose. At Westside Dental Associates<\/strong>, our goal is to preserve as much of your natural smile as possible for as long as possible. What\u2019s more, when Dr. Latner<\/strong> can catch decay early, treatment is not only smaller, it\u2019s also more comfortable for patients and takes less time.\r\n\r\nCall<\/a> our Los Angeles<\/strong> office to learn more about DIAGNOdent<\/strong> and how we\u2019re using it, or to reserve your next appointment with us.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So far this month we\u2019ve been talking about gum disease and how our Los Angeles team treats it.
