Treat Early Tooth Decay with Curodont
Curodont is a dental treatment for early tooth decay (white spots) that uses a painless, drill-free, non-invasive method to remineralize enamel, stopping cavities from forming. It involves applying a special gel (like Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus) that attracts minerals (calcium, phosphate, fluoride) to rebuild tooth structure, working with the body’s natural processes. It’s great for kids, those with sensitivity, or anyone wanting a gentle preventive option, often used in-office and supplemented with home care products like Curodont Protect gel.
How it works
- Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus (In-Office): A liquid gel is applied to early decay (white spots) after cleaning and etching; it penetrates the lesion, attracting minerals from saliva to rebuild the enamel.
- Curodont Protect (Home Care): A gel used at home (1-2 times weekly) that creates a protective barrier against acid, preventing new decay and helping with sensitivity.
Key benefits
- Painless & Drill-Free: Avoids needles, drilling, and fillings, making it ideal for children and anxious patients.
- Biomimetic: Mimics natural tooth repair, rebuilding the enamel structure.
- Stain-Free: Doesn’t stain teeth, unlike some other treatments.
- Versatile: Effective for early decay, white spots, sensitivity, and even around braces.
Who can use it?
- Children with early signs of decay (white spots).
- Adults wanting preventive care without restorative work.
- People with sensitive teeth.
- Anyone with a history of cavities.
