Carifree – “New Discoveries in Dental Care”

Our office has begun a new cavity prevention program using a new identification and treatment system for decay-causing bacteria. New science has discovered the cause of cavities through research that allows us to test and recommend treatment for the prevention of tooth decay. The CariFree program tests the level of harmful bacteria in your mouth by a simple swab of your teeth and reading the results in a minute using a special meter device. We can offer the test at your cleaning appointment or any time you come to see us.

Why is this important? Studies have shown that even with good brushing and flossing habits, harmful levels of decay-causing bacteria may still be present. Worse yet, these harmful bacteria can be transmitted to other members of your household.

What if you have high levels of these bacteria? CariFree has developed rinses that change the environment in your mouth that makes it difficult for the harmful bacteria to survive. Once the population of these decay-causing bacteria is replaced with the “good”
bacteria, the rate of tooth decay slows to a stop. Studies have shown that people, who were at high risk of tooth decay, once treated, have decreased or eliminated tooth decay completely!

Imagine how much easier it would be to prevent cavities instead of filling them. Please call our office if you would like more information, or ask us next time you’re in.
