At Golden State Dentistry, we’re excited to offer Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus—an innovative, minimally invasive treatment designed to help repair early-stage tooth decay without drilling or injections. For the right patient, it can help preserve natural tooth structure before decay progresses.
Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus is an in-office treatment for early, non-cavitated tooth decay—areas where minerals have begun to leave the enamel but a physical hole has not yet formed.
These early lesions may appear as white spots or “watch areas” identified during a clinical examination or on dental X-rays.
Unlike a traditional filling, Curodont™ is designed to support remineralization within the tooth, helping strengthen weakened enamel while preserving healthy tooth structure. It uses self-assembling peptide technology combined with fluoride to support the tooth’s natural repair process.
1. No Drilling. Eligible areas of early decay can be treated without removing healthy tooth structure.
2. No Needles or Anesthesia. The treatment typically does not require injections or numbing, making it an appealing option for patients who experience dental anxiety.
3. Preserves Natural Tooth Structure. Rather than removing part of the tooth to place a filling, Curodont™ supports the remineralization of weakened enamel.
4. Quick and Comfortable. The treatment can be completed during a dental visit and generally causes little to no discomfort.
5. May Help Delay or Avoid Future Restorations. Treating decay at its earliest stage may help prevent it from progressing to the point where a filling or more extensive dental treatment is required. Results and eligibility depend on the condition of the tooth and the patient’s ongoing oral hygiene.
Curodont™ may be appropriate for patients with:
Early-stage decay that has not yet formed a cavity or hole
White spot lesions, including those that may appear after orthodontic treatment
Areas of enamel demineralization identified during a dental examination
“Watch areas” detected on dental X-rays
A preference for the most conservative treatment available
Dental anxiety or concerns about drilling and injections
Curodont™ is not intended for larger or cavitated areas of decay, broken teeth, dental infections, or teeth causing significant pain. These conditions may require a traditional filling, crown, root canal treatment, or another restorative procedure.
A dental examination and appropriate X-rays are necessary to determine whether a tooth qualifies for treatment.
Early tooth decay creates microscopic pores beneath the enamel’s surface as the tooth loses important minerals.
After the affected tooth is carefully cleaned and prepared, Curodont™ is applied directly to the early lesion. The solution penetrates the weakened area and forms a microscopic scaffold within the enamel.
Over time, this scaffold attracts minerals such as calcium and phosphate from the patient’s saliva. Along with fluoride, these minerals help remineralize and strengthen the tooth from within.
The application itself takes only a few minutes, while the remineralization process continues naturally over the following weeks and months. Regular dental examinations allow the dentist to monitor the treated area and evaluate how it is responding.
The best time to address tooth decay is before it progresses into a cavity that requires drilling.
If you have been told you have a “watch area” or early signs of decay, Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus may offer a conservative treatment option that helps preserve your natural tooth.
