Dental caries affects almost everyone. If left untreated, it can impact an individual’s ability to eat, sleep, attend school and even work. Currently, most dental practices treat the symptoms rather than the cause of this bacterial infection. Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) seeks to alter the caries balance and change the course of the disease.

CAMBRA provides dental professionals with risk-based strategies for addressing the fundamental causes of why someone is at higher risk for caries and what can be done to prevent it. How do we get reimbursed for our preventive procedures, and how do we educate patients about the benefits of this decay preventive treatment?
