At Merhoff & Associates Pediatric Dentistry, we’re constantly researching innovative, child-friendly solutions to keep your little ones smiling and looking forward to their dental check-ups! We’re thrilled to introduce Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment designed to tackle early tooth decay without the need for drills or discomfort.
What Is Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus?
Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is a revolutionary dental treatment that addresses early-stage cavities, known as white spot lesions, through a process called guided enamel remineralization. Utilizing a patented technology, it promotes the natural rebuilding of tooth enamel by facilitating the uptake of essential minerals like calcium, phosphate, and fluoride from saliva into the affected areas.
Why It’s a Game-Changer for Kids – No Pain or Icky Taste!
Traditional cavity treatments often involve drilling and fillings, which can be scary for children. Curodont offers a gentle alternative.
- Pain-Free Application: No needles or drills are required, making the experience stress-free for young patients.
- Quick and Easy: The treatment is applied in a simple, 5-minute procedure during a regular dental visit.
- No Unpleasant Taste or Staining: It’s tasteless and doesn’t discolor teeth.
- Effective During Orthodontic Treatment: Curodont can be applied around braces to prevent decay without interfering with orthodontic appliances.
How Does It Work?
Curodont’s active ingredient is a self-assembling peptide that penetrates the enamel’s porous structure in early carious lesions. Once inside, the peptide attracts minerals, facilitating the natural remineralization of the tooth. This process not only halts the progression of decay but also strengthens the tooth structure, reducing the likelihood of future cavities.
Perfect for Our Young Patients
At Merhoff & Associates Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that each child is unique. Curodont is especially beneficial for:
- Children with Early Signs of Decay: Addressing issues before they escalate into more serious problems.
- Kids with Dental Anxiety: Offering a non-threatening treatment option that eases fears.
- Patients Undergoing Orthodontic Treatment: Preventing decay around braces without disrupting orthodontic care.
- Children with Special Needs: Providing a gentle, effective solution tailored to their comfort and health requirements.
Complementary At-Home Care: Curodont Protect
To enhance the benefits of in-office treatment, we recommend Curodont Protect, a dental gel designed for home use. It helps maintain enamel strength and continues the remineralization process between dental visits. This easy-to-apply gel is tasteless and leaves teeth feeling smooth, encouraging consistent use by children.
The Merhoff & Associates Pediatric Dentistry team is excited to offer Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus as part of our commitment to providing the best possible care for your children. This innovative treatment aligns with our preventive, minimally invasive dentistry philosophy, ensuring your child’s comfort and long-term oral health.
