It does this using a laser diode to look for weaknesses in the chewing surfaces of teeth.\r\n\r\nAn exam with DIAGNOdent<\/b> begins with Dr. Latner<\/b> taking a reading of healthy enamel, which the rest of your smile will be measured against. If we come across any amount of decay during your exam, this useful tool will make a sound, alerting us to an area that needs our attention.\r\n\r\nWhy is this beneficial for your oral health? Because treating any oral health issue early on will prevent the need for more invasive care later on.\r\n\r\nWe recommend that our patients visit us twice a year for regular checkups, including exams with DIAGNOdent<\/b>. With this kind of regular care, Dr. Latner<\/b> and his Los Angeles<\/b> dental team can help you stay a step ahead of one of the most common oral health problems any patient can face.\r\n\r\nTo experience a checkup with DIAGNOdent<\/b>, call<\/a> Dr. Latner\u2019s Los Angeles<\/b> dental office today for an appointment. We serve patients from Santa Monica<\/b>, Beverly Hills<\/b>, West LA<\/b>, Mar Vista<\/b>, and beyond.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In our last post, we talked about air abrasion, a unique tool that lets Dr. Les Latner treat decay without needles or a drill.
