CariFree: Modern Approach to Preventing Tooth Decay

Tooth decay is one of the most common dental problems affecting people of all ages. At Dentistry of Chelmsford, we’re proud to offer the CariFree system, an innovative solution designed to help prevent and reverse early-stage cavities.

CariFree is based on the principles of CAMBRA (Caries Management by Risk Assessment) — a proven, evidence-based approach that goes beyond traditional treatments. By addressing the root causes of decay and adjusting pH levels in the mouth, CariFree helps break the cycle of cavities before they start.

We’re excited to use modern tools like CariFree to promote long-term oral health. If you're interested in proactive cavity prevention, schedule an appointment today and learn how CariFree can support your smile.

OralDNA® Testing: Personalized Insight Into Your Oral and Overall Health

At Dentistry of Chelmsford, we offer OralDNA® testing to help uncover hidden bacterial threats and provide more personalized, effective care. These advanced saliva-based tests can give you and your dentist crucial insights that go far beyond a routine exam.

Here’s what OralDNA® testing can reveal:

Presence of harmful oral pathogens that may contribute to gum disease and increase your risk for heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and complications during pregnancy.
Whether you carry genetic markers for heightened inflammatory response, which can influence your susceptibility to periodontal disease, cardiovascular problems, and diabetes.
How to choose the most effective periodontal treatment, based on your specific oral microbiome, and how to track progress over time with follow-up tests.
If you have high-risk HPV strains linked to an elevated chance of developing oral cancer.
