CariFree's Cavity Catcher, CariScreen Detects Patients' Risks For Cavities Before They Occur
CariFree helps patients win the war against cavities before they get a fighting chance.
- (1888PressRelease) July 07, 2010 - ALBANY, OR - With the help of the revolutionary cavity-fighting products from CariFree, dentists are guiding their patients in achieving good oral health through preventive means. CariFree's CariScreen technology is being used by dentists across the nation, as well as internationally, to accurately detect a patient's risk for cavities even before they occur. The system allows dentists to effectively treat the caries infection, the underlying cause of cavities, so patients can ditch the drill and conquer the cavity-causing bacteria at its root.
The CariScreen Caries Susceptibility Test detects a patient's vulnerability to tooth decay by its unique use of ATP bioluminescence to identify bacteria that have been proven to place patients at risk for cavities. The entire process takes only one minute to perform and is completely painless, which is more than can be said for uncomfortable drill and fill methods.
"One of the most common misconceptions among dental patients is that drilling and filling cavities stop the problem," says Carri Cady, a dental hygienists and Vice President of Sales and Marketing for CariFree. "The reality is that it only restores the tooth temporarily. If the caries bacteria are active within the mouth the patient will continue to be affected. The CariScreen can detect the harmful bacteria so dentists may then take preventive measures to rid patients of the caries infection forever."
The test is administered chair-side by simply taking a sample of the patient's plaque. The CariScreen then quickly provides a score between 0 and 9,999 to assess the patients risk level. Depending upon the severity of the infection, dentists can then accurately recommend a treatment plan that will promote a healthy mouth and a cavity-free smile.
"The dental industry is constantly evolving, and staying at the forefront of this evolution is an integral part of CariFree's mission," adds Cady. "The CariScreen is a convenient, fast, and painless tool that dentists can use to help patients raise their dental IQ and work towards better oral health, as opposed to simply repairing damage."
Not only is the CariScreen a great solution to initially gauge a patient's caries risk, it is also a crucial tool in tracking and maintaining oral health. By routinely offering the CariScreen to patients, dentists can trace the progress being made through treatment.
