| Myth Vs. Facts About Tooth Decay |
 |
|
Just because you've been told something doesn't make it true!
Cavities are caused my multiple factors in the mouth including diet, hygiene, and the type and concentration of bacteria in the mouth. Excessive amounts of cavity-causing bacteria can cause cavities even if a patient has good dental hygiene and diet. The CariFree system is designed to treat (a) cavity-causing bacteria, (b) demineralization (softening) of teeth by increasing the pH and minerals in the oral cavity.
MYTH: Brushing and flossing are enough to fight decay.
FACT:
Brushing and flossing alone do not kill the
bacteria
that are the real cause of decay.
MYTH: Cavities are not contagious.
FACT:
Bacteria
that cause cavities are
transmissible.
MYTH: Sugar is the reason I get cavities.
FACT:
Bacteria
that cause cavities are driven by an acidic
pH.
MYTH: Fluoride is the answer to stopping decay in adults.
FACT:
Studies show that the increase in
fluoride
use has not lowered the incidence of decay in adults.
MYTH: I get cavities because I have soft or weak enamel.
FACT: The
acid produced by
bacteria can eat
everything.
MYTH: Filling my cavity cures the disease.
FACT:
Only chemotherapeutic treatment can treat the
bacteria
that cause cavities, not the dentists' drill.
