hmm..that's interesting. i just did some googling on the diagnodent. are
the readings really 90% accurate? i wonder if i should try to seek out a
dentist w/ one... maybe that could explain why i have pain in a couple teeth
but keep getting "cavity free" checkups from my technologically slow
dentist? i do have lots of little shadows, pits and grooves on my teeth.
