Your Risk Scores: Caries Risk Score: 2 Moderate Risk predicts your future disease state. Risk is determined by risk factors, which are distinct from the signs and symptoms of disease. Preventing disease requires treatment that reduces your risk factors. Low risk (1) means that you are unlikely to have a cavity whereas high risk (3) means that you are very likely to have a cavity within the next 3 years. Fracture Risk Score:3 High This is the risk that a tooth or filling will fracture. The risk scale is 1, 2, and 3, with 3 representing high risk. Root Surface Risk Score:3 High This is the risk that grooves or notches will occur in the roots of your teeth. These defects can increase sensitivity to hot and cold, cause an abscess, or weaken the tooth causing it to fracture. The risk scale is 1, 2, and 3, with 3 representing high risk.

Prevention - Active Intervention Prevention is based on risk and risk factors. This is treatment before disease is observed. Repair of the effects of disease rarely results in a condition as good as the original health state. Preventing disease eliminates tooth loss and reparative treatment.

The most common patient behaviors that influence health and treatment success are oral hygiene, nutrition, and smoking. You may receive advice, including resources for you to change to health-promoting behaviors.

Regular visits to detect disease in the early stages can prevent more complex and expensive treatment. Better still are regular visits for preventive care targeted to your risk factors.
