Untreated tooth decay can lead to significant damage to your teeth, potentially requiring extractions and extensive restorative procedures to restore your oral health and smile. During your visit to our office, our skilled dentist will conduct a thorough caries risk assessment to evaluate your susceptibility to tooth decay and formulate a personalized treatment plan to prevent its development.
Tooth decay, also known as dental caries, is the most common infectious disease in humans. A caries risk assessment is designed to check for dental decay and diseases on multiple levels, employing a wide range of tools and detection methods. During the assessment, our dentist will thoroughly examine your entire mouth, assess the bacterial balance, and discuss risk factors such as diet and oral hygiene through an interview.
Depending on your risk level, our dentist may recommend several strategies, including:
- Fluoride treatments
- Modifying your home care routine
- Changing your diet
- Dental sealants
Preventing the development of dental caries is the most effective way to treat them. We strongly encourage you to maintain a good oral hygiene routine at home and to visit our office regularly for professional dental care.
If you have any questions about dental caries risk assessments or would like to schedule an appointment with our dentist, please call our office today.
