Caries Management

Caries management refers to the process of preventing, diagnosing, and treating tooth decay, also known as cavities. It involves assessing the risk of decay, educating individuals about good oral hygiene practices, and providing treatments to stop or reverse damage. This can include fluoride applications, dental sealants, and fillings for more extensive damage. The goal is to maintain healthy teeth and gums, minimize the need for invasive procedures, and promote long-term dental health through regular check-ups and personalized care plans.
