CariFree

CariFree is a system where we can actually swab the mouth to assess the level of bacterial infection in the mouth which can lead to tooth decay (caries) developing. CariFree is here to help our patients find assistance and products for treating and preventing the caries infection.

Cavities are caused by a bacterial infection known in the dental profession as “caries”. This infection is not only treatable, but preventable.

In recent years, scientists and other dental professionals began to realize that it was a bacterial infection in the mouths biofilm that was causing tooth decay, leading to cavities forming.

Oral BioTech is a group of dentists and other professionals who came together to create products that could make it easy for dentists to test for this bacterial infection and to be able to prescribe highly effective treatment programs.

DIAGNOdent

The DIAGNOdent is our painless laser caries diagnosis unit.

DIAGNOdent is a revolutionary new way to find even the smallest areas of tooth decay. By using this new technology, we are able to target and treat small problem areas before they turn into larger issues that require more complicated procedures.
