Jelaskan Tindakan pencegahan lainnya dari Karies gigi

Terapi florida dapat menjadi pilihan untuk mencengah karies. Cara ini telah terbukti menurunkan kasus karies gigi. Florida dapat membuat enbamel resisten terhadap karies. Florida sering ditambahkan pada pasta gigi dan cairan pembersih mulut.

Penelitian baru-baru ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberian radiasi laser intensitas rendah dengan laser ion argon dapat mencengah karies enamel dan lesi daerah bercak putih. Sedang dikembangkan pula, vaksin untuk melawan bakteri karies. Pada 2004, vaksin ini telah berhasil diujicobakan pada hewan, dan uji coba klinis pada manusia pada Mei 2006.
