CariFree is revolutionizing the way we approach oral health with innovative prevention methods, and we’re pleased to offer this exciting new treatment at Kaelin Pediatric Dentistry. In this blog post, we’ll explore how CariFree is transforming oral health and why it matters.
What is CariFree?
A New Approach to Oral Health
CariFree is a unique system designed to prevent cavities and improve oral health. Traditional dental care often focuses on treating problems after they occur, such as filling cavities or performing root canals. CariFree, on the other hand, emphasizes prevention. By identifying and addressing the root causes of dental issues, CariFree helps individuals maintain healthier teeth and gums over the long term.
The Science Behind CariFree
At the core of CariFree’s approach is an understanding of the role that bacteria play in oral health. Our mouths are home to millions of bacteria, some of which are beneficial and some that can cause problems. The CariFree system works by balancing the bacteria in the mouth, reducing the harmful ones while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. This balance helps to prevent cavities and other oral health issues.
The Components of the CariFree System
CariScreen Test
One of the key components of the CariFree system is the CariScreen test. This simple, painless test measures the levels of bacteria in the mouth. By identifying high levels of harmful bacteria, dental professionals can determine a patient’s risk for developing cavities. The test takes just a few minutes and provides immediate results, allowing for a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment Rinse
The CariFree Treatment Rinse is another essential part of the system. This rinse contains a combination of antimicrobial agents and other ingredients that help to reduce the levels of harmful bacteria in the mouth. Regular use of the treatment rinse can significantly lower the risk of cavities and improve overall oral health.
Maintenance Rinse
Once harmful bacteria levels are under control, it’s important to maintain this balance. The CariFree Maintenance Rinse is designed for ongoing use to help keep bacteria levels in check. This rinse contains a blend of fluoride, xylitol, and other ingredients that promote oral health and prevent cavities.
Oral Health Products
In addition to the rinses, CariFree offers a range of oral health products, including toothpaste and gels. These products are formulated to support the CariFree system and provide additional benefits, such as strengthening tooth enamel and reducing sensitivity.
The Benefits of CariFree
Preventing Cavities
The primary benefit of the CariFree system is its ability to prevent cavities. By targeting the root causes of dental issues, CariFree helps to reduce the incidence of cavities and other oral health problems. This proactive approach can save individuals time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
Personalized Care
One of CariFree’s standout features is its focus on personalized care. The CariScreen test provides detailed information about an individual’s oral health, allowing for a customized treatment plan. This personalized approach ensures that each person receives the care they need to achieve optimal oral health.
Improved Overall Health
Good oral health is linked to overall health. By preventing cavities and other oral health issues, CariFree contributes to better overall health. For example, reducing the risk of gum disease can lower the risk of heart disease and other systemic health problems.
Cost-Effective Solution
Preventive care is often more cost-effective than treating problems after they occur. By reducing the incidence of cavities and other dental issues, CariFree can help individuals save money on dental treatments and procedures.
How to Get Started with CariFree
Finding a CariFree Provider
The first step in getting started with CariFree is to find a dental provider who offers the system. Many dental practices now include CariFree as part of their preventive care offerings.

Taking the CariScreen Test
Once you’ve found a CariFree provider, the next step is to take the CariScreen test. This quick and easy test will give your dental professional valuable information about your oral health and help them create a personalized treatment plan.
Following the Treatment Plan
After taking the CariScreen test, your dental professional will recommend a treatment plan based on your results. This plan may include using the CariFree Treatment Rinse, Maintenance Rinse, and other oral health products. It’s important to follow this plan consistently to achieve the best results.
Regular Check-Ups
Regular dental check-ups are an essential part of the CariFree system. These visits allow your dental professional to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Regular check-ups also help catch any potential issues early before they become more serious problems.
