CariFree Cavity Treatment and Prevention

A Smarter Way to Maintain Your Oral Health

Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, is a disease that damages hard tooth structures. According to the CDC, dental caries is one of the most prevalent diseases in America and is the primary cause of tooth loss in children. The disease, however, is curable. With CariFree products and treatment, Dr. Owens can rid your mouth of harmful, cavity-causing bacteria for good.

Typically, dentists treat cavities with fillings, which require drilling and replacing lost tooth structure with a manmade substance. Fillings do nothing to prevent cavities from returning in the future. Dr. Owens believes in preserving natural tooth structure with preventive maintenance, saving you time and money and promoting long-lasting oral health.

With CariFree diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Owens can evaluate your risk for dental caries and provide simple home treatment solutions. When you come in for your appointment, Dr. Owens will swab your teeth and analyze the levels of harmful bacteria. Then he will recommend the right CariFree products to remove the harmful bacteria and prevent it from returning.

CariFree products work in three ways:

  1. Flouride– By binding to tooth enamel, fluoride helps reduce demineralization.
  2. Xylitol– This naturally-occurring sweetener resists oral bacteria and increases saliva production.
  3. pH positive– Additional products balance the pH levels of your mouth to encourage healthy bacteria growth.

Thorough preventive care with Dr. Owens and CariFree home maintenance can potentially eliminate the occurrence of cavities for children and adults. A disease-free mouth will have other benefits as well, such as fresh breath and decreased tooth sensitivity.

If you’re ready to be cavity-free for life, contact our Fort Collins dental office and reserve your CariFree analysis with Dr. Owens. Harmony Dental Care serves patients in the Loveland, Greeley, Windsor, and southern Wyoming areas.
