Ditch the Drill: CariFree Provides a Noninvasive Solution to Curbing Cavity-Causing Bacteria
ALBANY, OR – May 12, 2010 – The CariFree system for preventing and detecting cavity-causing bacteria leaves outdated drill and fill methods in the pit. CariFree is the first cavity prevention product to focus on neutralizing the mouth’s pH to battle cavity-forming bacteria and leave teeth strong and healthy. The cavity solution lies in CariFree’s simple protocol for assessing patients’ risk factors.
Cavities form as a result of a bacterial infection on the teeth known as dental caries. Traditionally, dentists would incorporate the “drill and fill” method to rid the mouth of cavities; however, this does not prevent the recurrence of dental decay. Taking a preemptive approach to dental health, CariFree products detect the cavity-causing caries infection and provides patients with effective products that treat the bacteria, as well as prevent it from coming back. Unlike other traditional fluoride treatments, CariFree products focus on the pH of the mouth, ultimately battling the underlying disease that promotes harmful bacteria, alleviating the need for invasive drill and fill methods.
“CariFree strives to bring people beautiful, healthy smiles,” says Carri Cady, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for CariFree. “The CariFree system uses evidence-based technology and techniques to actually stop cavities at the source. All too often, patients are caught in an endless cycle of having cavities filled. CariFree stops the infection from coming back.”
Conventional methods of cavity prevention, such as brushing and flossing, cannot effectively target the caries infection. By combining the proven benefits of fluoride, xylitol, and neutralizing pH technology, CariFree not only eliminates the cavity- causing bacteria, it also promotes the growth of healthy bacteria. The wide range of products offered by CariFree can curb nearly every affliction caused by the caries infection, combating everything from children’s cavities to bad breath.
“Our complete product line is FDA approved,” says Cady. “CariFree offers safe and innovative ways to keep patients feeling confident about their smiles, because nobody should have to live with the pain and expense of recurrent cavities. The CariFree system can keep teeth healthy for a lifetime.”
Dentists can sell CariFree directly from their office or refer patients to the CariFree website where they can purchase a wide range of products to rid cavity-sufferers from the pain and stress associated with tooth decay. Simply put, CariFree keeps dentists and patients carefree.
