A number of factors influence oral health. Eating habits, resistance of the tooth structure, micro-organisms, and saliva play a key role in the development and progression of caries (tooth decay).
To recognise susceptable individuals, it is important to analyse patients' caries risk. Only then is it possible to fight the causes and to embark on a customised treatment plan.
The Dental Practice has the ability to test for decay susceptibility by using the "Caries Risk Test".
