CariFree
Have you always thought cavities were just a part of life? They don't have to be. Like most bacterial infections, cavities are 100% preventable. With CariFree, a xylitol-based topical treatment, Dr. Polley can help you stop cavities from ever forming, which will save you time, money, discomfort, and preserve more natural tooth structure.
About Cavities
Cavities are holes or demineralized areas that form on teeth due to a bacterial infection. This infection is the result of an overly acidic oral environment. Regular brushing and flossing, while essential, will not stop the infection on their own. The traditional method of dealing with cavities has been to remove the decay and fill it with a metal or tooth-colored substance. Dr. Polley believes in helping patients proactively treat the root of the problem, not just offering after-the-fact restorations. He'll perform a "caries risk assessment" to determine which factors are causing you to get cavities and offer the appropriate preventive treatment.
CariFree helps in three ways:
- Neutralizes the pH levels of your mouth
- Limits the amount of bacteria-produced acids
- Combines fluoride with xylitol for more effective enamel-strengthening results
Designed by dentists for patients, CariFree has helped countless children and adults become cavity-free with safe and effective products. From toothpastes to rinses to chewing gum, CariFree has something to fit everyone's lifestyle. Dr. Polley will help you choose the product that's right for your smile.
