Why Choose Our Caries Risk Test?

The caries risk test is an advanced diagnostic tool that measures the bacteria levels in your mouth, a major contributor to tooth decay. By using a bacteria test meter and a swab machine to test for germs, we can determine if you're at risk for cavities before they develop.

Regular caries risk assessments are essential for monitoring your oral health. By undergoing periodic testing with the cavity test or ATP testing, we can track changes in your dental health and catch issues early.

How the Caries Susceptibility Test Works

The test involves bacterial swab reading to detect harmful bacteria that could lead to tooth decay. We use a germ swab kit and an innovative germ testing machine to analyze the bacteria in your mouth accurately. By evaluating the results with a bacterial swab reader and ATP testing meter, we provide a comprehensive caries assessment.

If the test reveals a high level of bacteria, we offer customized solutions, including fluoride treatments and oral hygiene advice, to reduce the risk of cavities. This proactive approach can help you avoid extensive dental work later on, saving both time and money.
