Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus – Chevy Chase, MD
Repair Early Decay and Strengthen Enamel
Fluoride treatments are a popular choice for giving smiles extra protection from cavities, but it’s not your only option. Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus works a lot like fluoride – and can be far more effective! By replenishing the minerals that make up your teeth’s natural structure, Curodont™ can stop or even reverse early stages of decay and strengthen enamel.
What Is Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus?
Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus is similar to fluoride, but it contains other minerals as well, along with a special, proprietary peptide. You can think of Curodont™ as an “enhanced” fluoride. The goal of its formula is to strengthen teeth and protect them from cavities at a higher rate. Some studies report that Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus is 13 times more effective than fluoride varnish, so we’d say it’s pretty successful!
How Does Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus Work?
It’s all about remineralization. While teeth cannot heal themselves the same way other parts of the body can, the minerals that make up their structure can be repaired. When bacteria eats away at enamel, Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus introduces calcium, phosphate, and fluoride to the structure. The new minerals bond to the decaying enamel, replenishing it and reversing early stage cavities.
This is why Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus is often more effective than fluoride alone. “Regular” fluoride treatments only introduce one mineral to the tooth’s structure – Curodont™ introduces three!
What Can I Expect During My Cleaning With Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus?
Curodont™ is a topical application, meaning there’s no injections or drilling involved. The entire process can be completed in just a few minutes, and Dr. Yu will begin promptly after your cleaning.
First, she’ll cover at-risk areas with a diluted phosphoric acid provided in the Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus kit.
Dr. Yu will then rinse your mouth and dry off your teeth.
Next, she’ll apply the remaining Curodont™ solution to the same at-risk areas.
After letting the product settle for about five minutes, you’ll be free to go. Just remember not to eat, drink, or rinse your mouth for the next 30 minutes. Otherwise, Curodont™ will not absorb properly into your teeth’s enamel.
