Prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the caries infection with CariFree™

Cavities, the demineralized areas or the holes that form in teeth, can be a result of a bacterial infection called dental caries. This infection takes place when the normal healthy bacteria in the mouth are replaced by acid-producing bacteria. This shift in bacteria is primarily caused by two things:

• Prolonged acidic oral environment caused by a lack of saliva or a sugary/acidic diet that favors acid-producing bacteria.
• Transmission: the caries infection is contagious! You can be infected by someone through exchange of saliva.

CarieFree – Treating the cause of cavities

Drilling and filling has been the traditional method of treating cavities, but it doesn’t treat the infection, just the symptoms. Brushing and flossing has been the traditional method of prevention, but it does not change the pH (acidity) of the oral environment or treat the infection once it exists. These acids are responsible for eating away at the hard coating of the tooth, enamel, and causing demineralization and eventual cavities within the enamel.

Promoting long-term health

CarieFree offers products which will kill the caries infection while supporting the regrowth of healthy, non-acid-producing strains of bacteria.

CariFree products are all alkaline in nature and contain no abrasives, so they are safe to use for a lifetime. All products contain therapeutic levels of fluoride and xylitol which work to fight decay, and are pH+ neutralizing to encourage the growth of healthy bacteria.
