Dental Insurance Kids – Tooth Decay
Innovative Dental Device Helps to see Invisible Tooth Decay and Plaque.
Technology is improving dental care. A team of scientists from the University of Liverpool has won an award for developing a device that can identify early tooth decay and plaque before it is visible to the human eye. The innovation, “iDentifi” comprises a clinical digital camera that incorporates qualitative light-induced fluorescence technology to take images of the mouth using blue light and special filters that can show cavities and plaque.
