What this tool does: Curious about your risk of developing cavities? This tool estimates your risk for developing dental cavities using your age and daily habits. It provides personalized prevention tips to help keep your teeth healthy. However, this tool is not meant for diagnosis, please see a dentist if you think you may have a cavity.
How your score is calculated:
Points are assigned to risk factors (diet, dry mouth, oral hygiene), disease indicators (when in dentist mode), and age-related risk patterns. Protective factors such as fluoride use reduce the score. The final score is converted into a Low, Moderate, or High caries risk category.
About CAMBRA:
CAMBRA (Caries Management by Risk Assessment) is an evidence-based method used in dentistry to identify cavity risk early and tailor prevention and treatment strategies rather than waiting for cavities to develop.
