T-Scan occlusal analysis for sensitive teeth Dr Caughey: “I’m sure that one of the most frustrating things for a patient go through is to have a tooth that is sensitive and the dentist can’t find what the problem is. There are things are very hard to see and then they’re also things that take a long time show up. For example, a tooth that has been under trauma for a long time can develop a crack and that crack may be visible on the biting surface but as you go deeper it becomes almost invisible as it becomes microscopic. A tooth like that will show up pretty quickly on the T-Scan as a person bites on the tooth, the crack engages and that elicits the response from the nerve. So the T-Scan is a great way to find a problem like that.” www.caugheydds.com
