Cavity Prevention

Prevent cavities before they occur.

You may be at risk of developing cavities and not know it! Treating tooth decay as an infection can be the best treatment possible in preventing cavities. Like other disease such as heart disease or diabetes, there are identifiable risk factors that can cause tooth decay. Today we can identify the bacteria that cause cavities and treat it easily and effectively to reduce your risk.

Dental decay (caries) is a bacterial infection on your teeth. An easy 1-minute test by swabbing your teeth can determine the level of decay causing bacteria on your teeth to see if you are at risk to developing cavities. If harmful levels of bad bacteria are present and the infection is left untreated, the progressive steps of decay could lead to cavities, crowns, root canals or ultimately to tooth loss.

New research indicates:

Good oral hygiene may not stop cavities.
Bacterial infection on your teeth can be transmitted to others.

If your test indicates you have moderate or high levels of cavity causing bacteria, we prescribe the CariFree treatment and maintenance rinses to reduce the number of these bacteria and reduce your risk of developing tooth decay. Contact us today to see if you are at risk.
