Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is changing the conversation around early caries treatment while prioritizing patient trust
When Dr. Jennifer Haddad asks patients if they want a natural filling or an artificial one, the answer comes easily.
“It’s been such a straightforward and easy discussion to have,” she said. “I tell patients, ‘You have this cavity that’s starting to form in the first layer.'" She then shows the patient their X-ray, where the early lesion is flagged and highlighted. “Before, we would just watch it, and I would tell you to floss just like every other dentist does. But instead of just watching it, there’s a way we can treat it right now.”
Get to an Easy 'Yes'
Enter Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, which treats early caries in as little as 3 minutes via Guided Hydroxyapatite Generation throughout the depth of the lesion. Noninvasive, nonstaining, and tasteless, it allows clinicians to preserve natural tooth structure without drilling, injections, or artificial materials.
“I tell patients it will restore the tooth's minerals where they were lost vs me having to drill it and give them an artificial filling," Dr. Haddad said. "Patients are so excited about it. They're like, ‘Wow, that's amazing. Yes, let's do it.’ I’ve never had a patient say, ‘Let’s just do a resin filling instead.’”
But Does It Really Work?
Because many patients have never heard of a “natural” filling before, they’ll often ask Dr. Haddad: “Does it work?”
“Of course it does! With Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, we're not just stopping the decay progression—we're actually repairing the area," she explained. “In many cases, especially when using AI-assisted x-ray interpretation, we can see the lesions getting lighter or smaller, which has been so exciting."
A Better Future in Sight
At Dr. Haddad's biomimetic dental practice in West Hollywood, CA, preserving healthy tooth structure has always been a priority. And she begins every case with a simple question in mind: “What would I do if it were myself or a family member?”
“I know some pediatric dentists who are using Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus on their patients, and it's a game changer,” she said. “You’re sparing children the experience of numbing and drilling, and it gives them a better outlook and interaction with dentists so fear is not instilled at such a young age.”
“I want my dentistry to last forever,” Dr. Haddad continued. “It's kind of crazy, but that's the quality of work I want to give to my patients so that in the future, it’s just following up and making sure everything is nice and solid.”
