Learning about CAMBRA, chapter 2

In this chapter, there will be a huge motivation to take advantage of a very valuable piece of information that you may not have been aware of before. When we think of dental decay as implied or actually taught by a "Traditional" dentist, it will be from the paradigm of using the "surgical" approach to manage dental decay. As the understanding of just what is happening to teeth is expanded due to more and more scientific research and the development of better research methods as well as the technological development, this "traditional dentistry" has been replaced with the new "standard" of dental care, CAMBRA(Caries Management by
Risk Assessment).

On this chart there is an area of "reversible" damage to the tooth structure called "incipient" decay that extends from the first stages of decalcification up to the "line of irreversibility". This actually represents about 90% of your total decay. (only 10% of the decay is "reversible" and needs surgery....fillings etc)

Once knowing this, you will be encouraged to know that this 90% can be "remineralized" or cured by a normal body process which also helps you heal broken bones. Minerals and medications used as directed by a preventive dentist or "CureDontist" will help you actually heal your cavities with medicine, NOT the drill!. (with pennies on the dollar cost !! in comparison with waiting until the decay becomes irreversible and then placing fillings instead )

BEWARE of advertisements that will lead you into thinking that this takes place whether you have the disease, Dental Caries, in your mouth or not. REMINERALIZATION ONLY WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER DENTAL CARIES HAS BEEN CURED.

In the next chapter 3 we will learn more about this methodology, CAMBRA.
