Caries Risk Assessment Questionnaire
What a caries risk assessment questionnaire asks, why each part matters, and how dental practices collect it.
A caries risk assessment questionnaire records what a patient can report about their teeth, home care, fluoride, and diet before a dental exam. This page shows an unscored set of questions, built from dental clinic health history forms.
Caries risk assessment questionnaire, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a caries risk assessment questionnaire in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.
- Intake before the visit. Patients answer online before they arrive, or at a kiosk when they check in.
- Answers ready for the clinician. Clinicians see what the patient said before the visit starts.
- Less workload at the front desk. Staff spend less time handing out forms and entering answers by hand.
- Key details at a glance. The care team sees what matters up front and decides who needs attention first.
The form becomes a natural conversation: patients answer by talking, in their own words. AI Doctor is an information and patient-assistance interface. It collects answers for the care team to review. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or give treatment advice.

Caries risk assessment questionnaire: FAQ
What does a caries risk assessment questionnaire ask?
The sample on this page covers six areas: dental visits, teeth, home care, fluoride, diet, and health.
Who fills in a caries risk assessment questionnaire, and when?
The patient fills it in before a dental exam. The same questions can also sit inside a dental health history form.
Is a caries risk assessment questionnaire scored?
Not the set on this page. It has no scores; it records the patient's answers for the dentist to read.
Why does the dentist ask about brushing and diet?
Dental health history forms ask about home care, fluoride, and diet next to the medical questions. The dentist reads the answers together with the exam.
Does the questionnaire include the dental exam?
No. The questions cover only what the patient can report. The dentist adds what the exam and any x-rays show.
What happens after the patient answers?
The dentist reads the answers with the exam findings and decides the next steps with the patient. The answers are not a diagnosis.
Does AI Doctor give medical advice?
No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.
Can patient answers stay on our own servers?
Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
