CAMBRA (CAries Managament By Risk Assessment) system-
A New Scientific Approach to Caries Management
At United Dental Office, we now provide a new system to reduce your risk for future cavity and gum disease. We screen our patients to determine the level of caries risk by asking questions CRA, using CariScreen bacterial test (swab test) and evaluating your dental history. This allows us to give you customized recommendations for each patient.
Upon determination of your risk level, you will be recommended to use some dental hygiene products to help reduce the risk. You can continue the regimen for 3-6 months period and be re-evaluated at your next recall visit.
