Prevention is cheaper than cure.

Great oral hygiene is essential, but it is not enough! Professional checkups at a dental clinic detect diseases that do not cause any pain in their early stages but become costly if not addressed. These include early tooth decay, early-stage gum disease, small cracks in teeth, dental abscesses, bruxism or even oral cancer.

Your dental insurance plan includes coverage for two dental cleanings and checkups each year. Use it now.

Diamond Plus is the top status that an orthodontist can earn, as it requires that an orthodontist completes 200 cases every 6 months (400 a year!). The accreditation comes from Invisalign, and it gives a clear indication of an orthodontist’s experience and expertise working with the Invisalign system.

CAMBRA – caries management by risk assessment – is an evidence-based approach to preventing and managing cavities at the earliest stages.

Developed at UCSF in the early 2000s, CAMBRA takes into account a patient's health and lifestyle risk factors, such as the presence of harmful bacteria, low levels of saliva and poor diet, and weighs them against protective factors like living in a community with a fluoridated water supply, using fluoride toothpaste and antibacterial mouth rinses, and adequate saliva flow. Using this information, dentists rate a patient's risk for developing caries and determine a management strategy, which might include prescribing high-fluoride toothpastes and antibacterial mouthwash, encouraging lifestyle changes and monitoring.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the CAMBRA approach can:
‍
• Prevent a lifetime of oral pain and discomfort
• Save patients thousands of dollars in dental bills over their lifetimes
• Be a powerful practice builder for dentists at a time when the U.S. health care system and the general public are increasingly focused on the concept of preventive care

The results of testing and validation aimed at replicating the results of university-based studies in community dental practices are expected in 2017.

Clinical Implications

By saving their patients money and preventing or significantly easing a lifetime of oral health challenges, dentists and prosthodontists from around the world have begun to sustainably build their practices through the use of CAMBRA.

To implement CAMBRA, these clinicians:​

1. Take a dental and medical history and conduct a clinical exam to assess:
• Caries lesions early enough to reverse or halt progression
• An individual’s caries risk factors, which include acid-producing bacteria, frequent eating/drinking of fermentable carbohydrates, and abnormal saliva flow and function

2. Manage caries risk factors by optimizing protective factors using both behavioral approaches and chemical treatments. The treatment plan might include:
• Remineralization through the use of fluoride and/or antibacterial therapies such as chlorhexidine and xylitol
• Minimally invasive restorative procedures to conserve tooth structure
• Regular patient follow-up

Studies have shown that at least one CAMBRA treatment — the application of 5,000-ppm fluoride twice daily — can reverse many root caries lesions – cavities on the root surface of teeth, usually below the gums and which occur more frequently in older patients.
