About John Licking, DDS
For more than 30 years Dr. Licking has taken more than the bare minimum of continuing education courses. Advanced post doctorate education keeps him current with all the new technology and techniques in dentistry so that he is able to offer the best that dentistry has to offer to his patients. As a result of keeping abreast of new technology and changes in dentistry, Dr Licking has incorporated many new procedures into his office practice. The Laser Cavity Finder, compared with visual examination or x-rays is more accurate in detecting some cavities. It cannot detect cavities everywhere but in the areas where it can be used it is terrific. And, it is painless. Regarding x-rays Dr. Licking has for several years been using FDA approved digital x-rays to reduce exposure of our patients to x-rays by 90% plus give us more diagnostic information than the traditional film based x-rays. X-rays help them in detecting cavities in areas they can’t see and where the Laser Cavity Finder can’t see, as well as diagnosing problems under the gums that can’t be detected visually.
