caries management program

The dentists' understanding of caries decay and its treatment has been changed dramatically over the past decade. We now know that dental caries is an infectious, communicable disease, and it should be addressed as such in its diagnosis, treatment and prevention. In our office, we are currently developing a comprehensive caries management and prevention system that will allow us to recognize patients with increased risk for caries decay and help them to control this destructive process with dietary changes and specific supplements administration (ask us about fluoride rinses, Biotene and Xylitol products; we have them available for your use at home). Using cutting-edge technology such as digital caries diagnosis allows us to catch decay at an early stage. Recent introduction of micro-burs allows us to remove only decayed part of the tooth, leaving the rest of it strong and intact. We want you to keep your new smile healthy . That's why we are so serious about keeping it decay free.
