CariVu™

CARIES DETECTION DEVICE

CariVu uses patented transillumination technology to identify caries (cavities) and cracks on the surface of your teeth and in the hard-to-see areas between your teeth. Using safe, near-infrared light, CariVu allows your doctor an almost transparent view of your teeth to see structural anomalies and carious lesions. The images look like traditional X-rays and provide similar diagnostic information. Still, CariVu does so without radiation, making it ideal for children, pregnant women, and those unwilling or unable to undergo a traditional dental X-ray.

CATCHING CAVITIES EARLY MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

Most tooth decay begins in the tiny cracks and grooves of your tooth's surface. CariVu’s illuminating technology can help your dentist:

• Detect tooth decay as early as possible
• Eliminate or reduce the number of costly treatments that you may need in the future
• Treat minor problems before they become serious dental issues
• Ensure you achieve a lifetime of oral health safely and comfortably
