clare, If a dentist can see the cavitat from the panorex x-ray then they can do surgury on it. Unfortunatly many cavitats are not picked up by the "normal' dentist by looking at your panorex. The cavitat uses a special machine much like an Ultrasound. You can read about it on Dr. Shanklands site. He explains it much better than I can. Hope this helps.

Hi Clare, i rang up a dentist who uses this machine and he said its the only one in the country, hes in Bournmouth or somewhere near. It costs £300. Have you got teeth missing? if not you probably dont have cavitations. I had alot done this year, a site where 3 teeth were pulled out and a site where one was pulled, the dentist saw on the panoramic xray that i needed to get them done. Apart from cleaning out the gum he used ozone aswell. I have had no pain since so it has helped.
