What is Prevention for Life^®?

Prevention for Life is a program, developed by prevention specialists at Centrix, to aid you and your patient in maintaining great oral health through the life of their dentition.

At Centrix, we firmly believe in a proactive approach to dentistry that ensures optimal oral health at every stage of life. Our program is supported by specific informational tools that help you and your team members successfully treat patients according to their risk level, at ANY age- not limited to their insurance reimbursement.

Getting started is simple!

Traditionally we provide fluoride varnish to children under the age of 18 as part of caries management but what about adults? Why aren't more adults being offered treatment and when they are being offered treatment, why aren't more accepting it? Educating and presenting the facts will ensure your adult population is part of your caries management program.

As a dental hygiene coach and clinician, I’ve seen firsthand how Centrix bridges the gap between clinical efficiency and individualized patient care. Their Prevention for Life resources empower dental professionals to integrate prevention into their workflows while increasing production and improving patient outcomes. It's refreshing to see a company so committed to supporting the provider and elevating the standard of care
