It’s Time for a Different Approach to Cavity Prevention
Cavities (dental caries) are caused by a bacterial imbalance in your mouth, and when dentists drill and fill cavities, they are only treating the result of the infection, not the imbalance itself—and the decay returns. While brushing and flossing can reduce bacteria, neither alters the current acidic bacterial balance in your mouth, and you continue to get cavities. CariFree pH elevated products change the chemical balance of your mouth and are scientifically proven to prevent cavities.
It’s time to break the cycle of decay!

Common Questions About Cavities:
Can cavity risk really be measured?
Yes, using simple, quantifiable diagnostic criteria, your CAMBRA dentist can classify your risk and help you build a dental cavities treatment plan specific to your oral health needs.
Is it possible for a decayed tooth to heal by itself?
Nope. A cavity is an infection that will never heal on its own and the longer you wait for treatment, the higher the risk of the infection spreading into the pulp and damaging the structure of the tooth.
What are some common risk factors for cavities?
Bacterial biofilm imbalance, dry mouth or saliva, medications that cause dry mouth, sugary drinks and snacks, and poor home care are all common dental caries risk factors.

What Patients Are Saying

How CariFree is Different
CariFree products can help interrupt the disease process a number of ways, preventing the cavities from ever forming. The unique pH correcting formula of CariFree products helps make the oral environment unfavorable for acid-loving, caries-causing bacteria. The high pH from the CariFree system also protects tooth enamel from having minerals dissolved away in acidic conditions. The products contain nano hydroxyapatite, which teeth can use to repair missing minerals from the enamel, particularly in the high pH environment the products create. Xylitol, a natural, non-nutritive sweetener, has several dental benefits when it comes to dental caries prevention. It makes bacteria less able to stick together in a tough to remove biofilm. Caries-causing bacteria also eat the xylitol but cannot use it for energy or to reproduce. So, the bacteria starve to death while eating xylitol.
