Did you know that more than 90% of U.S. adults have had at least one dental cavity? Yes, this oral health problem is extremely common! Thankfully, science has advanced to the point where there are many products available that can greatly reduce the risk of tooth decay — including Curodont. What is Curodont, and how can it help you to keep cavities away? This blog post explains.
What Is Curodont?
Cavities form when bacteria in the mouth consume sugars and starches. This creates an acidic biofilm on the teeth called plaque, which weakens the minerals in tooth enamel and causes tiny bits of it to wear away. Eventually, small pits (cavities) can form in the teeth. Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, also simply called Curodont, aims to interfere with that process.
Curodont is a professional in-office treatment that helps to prevent cavities. It even has the ability to reverse small spots of decay!
It is a topical formula that contains fluoride along with special bioactive peptides. The fluoride works to remineralize teeth, and the peptides help by actively drawing minerals like calcium and phosphate from your saliva. As a result, your teeth are strengthened and become less prone to cavities and decay. Studies indicate that Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is up to 13 times more effective than standalone treatment with a regular fluoride varnish.
The Remarkable Benefits of Curodont
Curodont is pretty amazing! Here is a look at some of its benefits:
- Fast and painless treatment. Applying Curodont usually takes just 5 minutes or so, and it is both non-invasive and painless.
- Lasting benefits. Curodont can be applied periodically so it can provide ongoing benefits.
- Potential to save time and money. By preventing cavities, Curodont may help you save money on future restorative procedures, such as fillings.
- Great for patients of all ages. Curodont can be great for both children and adults who are in need of extra protection against cavities.
Getting Started with Curodont
Not all dentists offer Curodont, so be sure to check with your provider to find out if it is available in their office. If it is, your dental team can include it as part of your next routine preventive visit. They may also encourage you to use Curodont Protect between visits (Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is exclusively for in-office use, but Curodont Protect can be used at home).
Curodont can be a powerful weapon in the fight against cavities! Ask your dentist about this remarkable preventive treatment.
