Stop Watching and Start Preventing
Presenter: Dr. Joy Void-Holmes, RDH, BSDH, DHSc
The conventional “watch-and-wait” philosophy for caries management has become increasingly obsolete in clinical practice. Contemporary dentistry demands a proactive paradigm that leverages advanced preventive and therapeutic modalities to mitigate disease progression. Passive observation of early carious lesions exposes patients to the risk of untreated progression and potential tooth loss. Current best practices advocate for interventions that prioritize prevention and early management, utilizing evidence-based protocols such as silver diamine fluoride. These approaches enable immediate response when caries is detected, arresting lesions and optimizing patient outcomes. For individuals at elevated risk, the critical question shifts to identifying which preventive strategies—beyond traditional diagnostics or age-based recommendations—will offer the most robust protection. The future of caries care is personalized, risk-based, and tailored to each patient’s unique clinical needs, guided by individual risk factors rather than generalized guidelines or insurance limitations.
