Curodont® treatment in Roswell, GA
The dentists at Sunshine Smiles Dentistry offer the latest curodont treatment to treat early tooth decay. Curodont is a non-invasive, drill-free dental treatment designed to reverse early-stage tooth decay and white spot lesions. This is a non invasive dental treatment to proactively combat early caries through guided enamel remineralization. Curodont dental treatment is also great for patients who are looking for holistic dental care.
What is Curodont®?
Curodont is a peptide that we apply directly to the tooth. The peptide helps stimulate the update of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals into the tooth, which supports the tooth’s natural remineralization process and helps strengthen weakened tooth structure.
How does Curodont® work?
Curodont helps enable the penetration of fluoride together with the patient’s own salivary phosphate and calcium ions beyond the tooth surface and into the full depth of the lesion. This supports a process of fluoride enhanced hydroxyapatite crystal formation.
Why are our Roswell dentists recommending Curodont®?
The reason that we are recommending Curodont is because we want to intervene while the lesion is still in its early stage. Once decay progresses into a true cavity, the dentist has to use more invasive methods and remove damaged tooth structure and restore it with a dental filling. Curodont offers us a much more conservative option. At Sunshine Smiles Dentistry, we believe in preserving of natural teeth and detecting disease early.
Who can get Curodont®?
Curodont is suitable for all patients, including children (based on dentist’s supervision). It can be recommended for patients with a high risk of cavities, good or poor oral hygiene. Our dental care team may recommend this during dental exams if early enamel or white spot lesions are seen. Patients with early signs of tooth decay.
