Decay is no longer battled with just a toothbrush and floss.
“I brush and floss twice a day; why do I keep getting cavities?”
We hear that question a lot, and frankly, it’s why we’re so dedicated to helping put patients and dentists on the same page and exploring new approaches that focus more on preventative strategies than on restorative procedures. In fact, since 2007, CAMBRA (Caries Management by Risk Assessment) has taught that dental caries is a communicable disease and that preventing caries requires not only brushing and flossing but also a comprehensive plan to manage diet, saliva, and bacteria.
This is where we come in! CariFree attacks the root of the decay with an elevated pH system proven to balance bacterial levels for a healthy oral environment. Our products are scientifically-proven, safe to use every day, and—most importantly—highly effective at preventing cavities. We’re honored to be working with you and your dentist to select proper therapeutic strategies designed to prevent, stop, or even reverse the decay process. CariFree products are proudly manufactured in Albany, Oregon by Oral BioTech.
“Many patients who are prone to cavities fear the news of being told they have yet another cavity when they visit the dentist. This new program represents a departure from the approach of merely addressing the problem of cavities after they occur. Now our focus can be on identifying and reducing the risk factors to help prevent them from occurring in the first place.”
