At Northland Dental Medicine, we use the latest in dental technology to provide our patients with quality dental care. One type of technology we use is athermography machine. This machine lets us take advantage of thermal imaging to help diagnose different dental conditions our patients are facing. The thermography machine works by showing us a white or red light when the patient has a worrisome condition, such as an infected tooth, TMJ disorder, or gum disease.
The thermography machine measures heat from different sources of the mouth. When heat comes through and causes a light to shine on the machine, we know it has found something. This lets us screen our patients to look for cavities, infections or decay that is not shown on traditional x-rays. Thermal imaging does not use any radiation, which is one of the many benefits to using this type of machine. It also provides a pain free way to diagnose different problems, especially with infections or cavities we can’t find otherwise.
To experience the thermography machine first hand, call Dr. Michael Corsello at 412-367-7400 to schedule a consultation.
