What is Curodont?
Curodont is a biomimetic treatment designed for early-stage tooth decay and white spot lesions. Using a peptide-based technology, it creates a framework within weakened enamel that encourages natural remineralization with minerals already present in saliva. Unlike a filling, Curodont works with your child’s natural tooth to help restore enamel before decay progresses. It is intended for non-cavitated lesions and is not a replacement for treating established cavities.
Treating Early-Stage Cavities Without Drills
Curodont treatment is quick, gentle, and completely non-invasive. During the appointment, Dr. Lindley will carefully examine your child’s teeth to determine whether they are a good candidate. The tooth is cleaned and isolated before the Curodont solution is applied directly to the affected area. There are no needles, no drilling, and typically no numbing required. Most appointments take only a few minutes, allowing your child to return to normal activities right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the ideal candidate for Curodont?
Children with early enamel demineralization or non-cavitated lesions are often excellent candidates. Dr. Lindley will evaluate your child’s teeth to determine whether Curodont is appropriate.
How is Curodont different from fluoride treatments?
Fluoride strengthens the outer enamel and helps prevent future decay. Curodont is designed to promote remineralization within early enamel lesions, helping repair weakened areas before a cavity develops. The two treatments may be used together as part of a preventive care plan.
Is Curodont covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Our team is happy to review your child’s dental benefits and discuss payment options before treatment.
How long does Curodont last?
Curodont supports the tooth’s natural remineralization process, and results develop over time. Maintaining good brushing habits, a healthy diet, regular dental visits, and following our additional recommendations will help protect the treated tooth and support long-term oral health.
