The Benefits of Professional Caries Risk Assessment
A thorough caries risk assessment offers numerous advantages for maintaining optimal oral health.

This proactive approach helps prevent costly dental treatments in the future while preserving your natural teeth. Patients benefit from understanding their individual risk levels, receiving customized oral hygiene recommendations, and gaining peace of mind knowing they’re taking the most effective steps to protect their smile.
Our Comprehensive Assessment Process
During your caries risk assessment at Sweet City Smiles, Dr. Jonathan Chang conducts a detailed evaluation of multiple factors affecting your cavity risk. We review your medical history, dietary habits, fluoride exposure, and previous dental experiences. Clinical examinations assess saliva quality and quantity, existing restorations, and oral hygiene effectiveness. Advanced diagnostic tools may be used to measure harmful bacteria levels in your mouth. Based on these findings, we categorize your risk level and develop a personalized prevention protocol that may include specific fluoride treatments, dietary modifications, or more frequent cleanings.
