No More Cavities
Most of our patients are fortunate because they practice good home care, have reasonable diets, and have had the benefit of a lifetime of fluoride exposure. They get very few cavities. However, there are some who, in spite of reasonably good care, still get cavities on a regular basis. That’s frustrating for them and for us. Traditionally, our advice would be to brush better and get more fluoride exposure. That’s still good advice, but we now have something better to offer. It’s called the Carifreeâ„¢ system.
Carifreeâ„¢ is a combination of mouthrinse, toothpaste, and chewing gum. It works by altering the oral environment to make it unfriendly to the decay causing bacteria. The altered oral conditions make it more likely that good bacteria will grow in place of the bad. It is a sophisticated system with much good science behind it. If I were to describe to while standing on one foot, I’d say it works by lowering the acidity in the mouth thereby changing the conditions from encouraging cavities to one that promotes healing. It’s easy to use (you already brush and floss, right?). Experience shows that approximately 70% of those using the Carifreeâ„¢ system become cavity free.
