Choose Curodont for Early Caries Prevention

Like many other industries, dentistry is evolving at a remarkable pace. A profession that patients once associated with the dreaded drill-and-fill procedure has recently experienced a shift toward more minimally invasive treatments and patient-centric approaches to dental care.

Now, fueled by a new, innovative solution that reimagines the way clinicians can approach early caries treatment, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus from Young Specialties offers a noninvasive, pain-free option, effectively transforming the patient experience while contributing to practices’ growth.

Here are 3 reasons that more clinicians are choosing Curodont for early caries intervention:

1. Stop Watching and Waiting

Generally, the balance of demineralization and remineralization keep a tooth’s enamel healthy. However, an individual’s lifestyle can easily interrupt this balance, and once this happens, carious lesions may form—their depth and severity varying case by case. Incorporating patented technology, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus remineralizes and rehardens noncavitated carious lesions, penetrating the full depth of the enamel. It can be used in tandem with a fluoride varnish, as well as other remineralization products, which helps maintain the integrity of existing tooth structure and halt the progression of tooth decay.

The unique formula leverages calcium and phosphate in the patient’s saliva to naturally stimulate hydroxyapatite formation. Within the acidic environments of buccal, occlusal, and interproximal carious lesions, a large matrix creates a scaffold that guides the tooth’s remineralization.

With that, Curodont protects the tooth before a full-blown cavity forms and repairs the enamel in a way that could eliminate the need for more extensive restorations after “watching and waiting.”

2. Enhance the Patient Experience

Not only does Curodont arrest early-stage tooth decay to save patients from drilling and filling, but a chairside Curodont treatment can be completed in a matter of minutes, saving time for clinicians and patients alike. It works fast, strengthening enamel within just 5 minutes of the seamless, brush-on application. From there, the remineralization process continues for weeks following the treatment.

While a one-time application is sufficient, additional Curodont treatments can be applied every 3 to 6 months. Curodont does not stain or discolor the surface of patients’ teeth, and after the biomimetic treatment, patients may not need to return for restorative treatment.

This lasting impact makes Curodont a convenient treatment option to minimize future invasive procedures as well as maximize in-office efficiencies. By giving clinicians the flexibility to better cater to individual patient needs with single or routine applications, they can improve and then more easily maintain patients’ oral health.

3. Build Your Practice

Finally, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus offers a clear return on investment for practices. The quick and simple treatment can often be delegated to hygienists, which can help free up doctors for more complex in-office tasks.

And, when patients express their satisfaction with their dentist stopping their decay and avoiding drill-and-fill procedures, they create buzz around Curodont treatment to attract more patients to the practice. Even the American Dental Association (ADA) has recognized the significant impact of Curodont treatments, creating a new code for hydroxyapatite regeneration to treat early caries.

Curodont can be used on adults and children, as well as on patients in active orthodontic treatment.
