The monsters in the closet are really bacteria in your children’s mouth. Decay is at epidemic proportions with children. Due to the trend of non-fluoridated bottled water and an increase in consuming soda and other unhealthy foods, children have cavities in numbers comparable to pre-fluoridation eras. Insurance companies, not known for their generosity, have increased the frequency of exams and x-rays on children for the first time since the inception of dental insurance, in an attempt to save money by early decay detection.
We have a new approach to identifying your child’s bacterial risk for decay. We simply swab the bacteria in their mouths, culture it and run it through a Caries Susceptibility Testing Meter which reads the numbers of decay-causing bacteria present and the decay risk they represent.
Treatment to lower the pH in your child’s mouth and reduce the number of decay-causing bacteria is to rinse two times per day for two weeks. That will disinfect their mouths. Follow with a pleasant-tasting maintenance rinse to continue the positive results. A convenient boost mouth spray is also available to carry with you to help maintain a healthier pH.
This new diagnosis and treatment isn’t just available for children. It has great possibilities for adults with high-risk assessments also. Those with histories of cancer, diabetes, cardiac disease or stress could see some spectacular results.
Call if you have questions on the new CariFree assessment and treatment protocols.
