CAMBRA in Monarch Beach – Why Participate in CAMBRA?
What are the Benefits of a CAMBRA Evaluation?
If you are experiencing tooth decay and cavities even after
following your dentist’s instructions on great oral hygiene, you may
have something else working against you that you didn’t even know about.
Dental caries is what causes tooth decay and cavities in your teeth,
and are not just present because of bad oral hygiene habits. In fact,
medications, genetics, and high acidity in your saliva can all be
reasons why you experience more caries than others.
This is why it is so important to be evaluated to determine your
risks for dental caries. Dentists like Dr. Cruz are able to complete
what is called a CAMBRA examination. CAMBRA stands for “Caries
Management by Risk Assessment.” It is a series of tests done to give
you an idea of the factors working against you when it comes to keeping
your mouth and teeth happy and healthy. It is a great way to get the
larger scope of understanding as to why you may be experiencing more
cavities and tooth decay than other individuals in your life, regardless
of your tooth care habits.
CAMBRA examinations are great to get the real picture of what is
going on in your mouth. Not only will it help you figure out why you’re
experiencing more cavities than others, but it can be a great way to
understand your mouth in order to improve long-term success with any
kinds of restorative treatments that you plan on undergoing. Taking
care of your restorative treatments done by the dentist is a great way
to extend the life of them and make less visits to the dentist over the
course of several years.
If you are considering a CAMBRA evaluation, call Dr. Cruz to
schedule an evaluation appointment. You will be able to take control
and become more proactive when it comes to your dental care when you
participate in a CAMBRA evaluation with Dr. Cruz and his staff.
