Have you heard any of these myths about cavities?
- Maybe you just have soft teeth
- Sugar is the cause of cavities
- Just brushing and flossing will prevent cavities
While some of these are partially based on fact, some simply are not true. The research shows that cavities are caused by a bacterial infection/imbalance known as caries. This imbalance occurs when the risk factors for disease outweigh the protective factors for health. By understanding what causes an imbalance of the oral environment and making adjustments, the disease can be controlled and your incidence of cavities can be reduced or eliminated.
We are excited to offer our patients a ground-breaking new cavity prevention program aiming to enhance your overall oral wellness. The CariFree Caries Risk Assessment is a top of the line cavity-management program designed to assess your individual risk for developing decay. Research shows patients that participate in the program can reduce their incidents of decay by up to 74%. This free assessment determines what specific behaviors or health concerns are contributing to your risk for decay (it is more than just brushing and flossing!) and includes a painless bacterial test to tell you if you have the type of bacteria present that leads to cavities. The assessment is painless but powerful, and will change the way you understand and manage your health!
Did you know that patients that suffer from tooth decay are more likely to suffer from things like dementia and heart disease? Decay happens when there is an imbalance of bad bacteria present in the mouth; it can be caused by things like diet, lack of saliva or your body’s natural selection for acid producing bacteria.
Because we take your health seriously and are dedicated to your overall wellness, we take pride in implementing a state of the art bacterial test that can tell us if you have the bacteria present that leads to tooth decay. The CariFree CariScreen test is painless and quick and can provide information never before available. It is extremely important to regularly check bacterial levels in order to prevent infection and the damage it can cause.
