Caries Management by Risk Assessment

Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) is a personalized approach to preventing and treating tooth decay. It involves evaluating how likely you are to develop cavities based on factors like your oral hygiene, diet, saliva flow, and history of dental issues. By understanding your specific risks, your dentist can recommend tailored treatments and habits—such as fluoride use, dietary changes, or additional preventive measures—to reduce the chances of cavities. CAMBRA aims to address the root causes of decay, promoting healthier teeth through targeted prevention rather than just treating cavities after they occur.
