1.2 Risk Assessment and Prevention
Bacteria Status In addition to plaque, gingivitis and white spot lesions, which are usually near the cervical areas of teeth, are clinical measures of bacteria.
Plaque Status at Age 1A fairly accurate predictor of future caries experience in a 1-year-old
is the amount of plaque on the teeth. If the oral health professional
can scrape visible plaque off the teeth, it is highly likely that
the child will experience dental caries in the next few years, unless
oral hygiene improves. |
