Cavity prevention is no longer just about brushing and flossing—modern dentistry is introducing game-changing innovations. Kevin Molldrem DDS discusses the latest fluoride alternatives, such as hydroxyapatite-based remineralization, and how smart toothbrushes with AI-powered sensors can detect plaque buildup in real-time. Salivary diagnostics are now being used to assess a patient’s risk for cavities before they even form, allowing for early intervention and personalized treatments. With the rise of minimally invasive procedures like resin infiltration, small cavities can be stopped before they require fillings. These advancements not only make dental care more efficient but also reduce the need for extensive restorative work, ensuring patients maintain stronger, healthier smiles for life.
