Crisis Treatment In The Warren, Watchung & Basking Ridge Areas
Many
people don't see a dentist on a regular basis. They go only when they
feel they have a problem. At The Star Dental Group LLC we call this "crisis treatment" as opposed to
"preventive treatment". The Star Dental Group uses the
state of the art Diagnodent diagnostic laser for early decay detection.
This instrument allows for decay to be diagnosed and treated far earlier
than by visual examination techniques alone.While these patients may feel they are saving
money, it usually ends up costing much more in both dollars and time. The reason for this is that most
dental problems don't have any symptoms
until they reach the advanced stages.
An example is tooth decay. At The Star Dental Group LLC we hear all the time, "Nothing hurts... I
don't have any problems". But tooth decay doesn't hurt! Until, that is,
it gets close to the nerve of the tooth.
Then a root canal and crown are usually necessary, instead of the
small filling, which could have been placed several years ago when the
cavity was small. Dr. Greenbaum can usually detect a cavity 3-4 years before it may
develop any symptoms. It is not uncommon to see a patient with a
tremendous cavity and they have never felt a thing!
