Defining a New Standard of Care for Early Caries Management

It's impossible to ignore the benefits of Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, a noninvasive lesions

ADAM SILEVITCH, DMD

A board-certified pediatric dentist who treats children and young adults at Pediatric Dentists NYC, Dr. Silevitch earned his dental degree at the Boston University School of Dental Medicine and completed postgraduate training in pediatric dentistry at Columbia University, where he was chief resident.

With over 20 years of experience in the dental industry in both sales and as a hygienist, Benko is passionate about empowering dental health through patient-centered care. A graduate of the dental hygiene program at New York City College of Technology, she practices at Pediatric Dentists NYC.

They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to rethink the traditional hands-off approach to early caries treatment. These two Curodontists—dentists and hygienists embracing an innovative approach to early intervention in caries treatment—aim to do just that.

“The ‘watch and wait’ approach is no longer existent in our practice and how we treat our patients,” said Danielle Benko, a pediatric hygienist in New York City. “Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus has given us a new approach to treating our patients. Finally, we have a solution for these enamel lesions!

”It's a mentality toward early caries shared by Dr. Adam Silevitch, a board-certified pediatric dentist. “I invite parents to watch me work when I’m applying Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, and they often ask, ‘Why doesn’t my dentist do this? Can I get this treatment?’ And I tell them it should be the standard of care for every tooth on every human,” he said.

Remineralize in Minutes

Suitable for all tooth surfaces and for both children and adults, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus enables effective therapy of early, non-cavitated carious lesions. With a targeted application, the patented formulation diffuses into the carious lesion within 3 to 5 minutes to start the remineralization process.

Time is an all-important factor in dentistry, and as Dr. Silevitch points out, once you cut into a tooth, the clock starts ticking until the next filling.

“The goal is really to preserve tooth structure for as long as possible and be as minimally invasive as possible," he said. “So, if you have something in your toolbox that can treat early-stage caries before a cavity occurs, then everybody wins.”

“Dentistry is so often associated with fear and pain," Benko added, "but Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus allows us to avoid the ‘scary’ parts of dentistry that can involve injections and drills. It requires only 5 minutes, is noninvasive, and it does not stain. Since incorporating it into our routine, I’ve seen high rates of acceptance, and patients and parents are much less apprehensive during treatment.”

Benko noted that teens often struggle with brushing, especially those with orthodontics, which raises their caries risk. Now, she can offer a solution.

“Using Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus to treat demineralization due to plaque accumulation around brackets has become one of the greatest treatments we can offer our orthodontic patients,” she said.

A Better Way for Everyone

As Curodontists, Dr. Silevitch and Benko can proactively treat early caries in a way that enhances patient care and outcomes. For Benko, "When we’re able to provide treatment that’s effective, pain-free, and time- and cost-efficient, everyone is happy!”
