Preventative Care

Curodont

We are proud to be the first dental practice in Jersey to offer Curodont™—an innovative treatment that can stop and reverse early-stage tooth decay without drilling, injections or fillings.

This new and promising approach works by helping the tooth regenerate lost enamel naturally. Treatment is quick, painless and may provide a more affordable, less invasive alternative to traditional treatment when decay is detected early enough.

How does Curodont Repair work?

Tooth decay begins with mineral loss beneath the surface of the enamel. At this early stage, before a cavity has formed, the damage may still be reversible.

Curodont Repair is applied directly to the affected tooth by your dental professional. Its patented peptide technology penetrates the early decay and attracts calcium and phosphate from your saliva, helping to replace lost minerals and rebuild the enamel from within.

The application takes less than 10 minutes and requires no drilling or anaesthetic.

Why choose Curodont Repair?

  • No drilling or injections
  • Painless and minimally invasive
  • Helps stop and reverse early tooth decay
  • Regenerates enamel from within
  • Quick, straightforward treatment
  • Suitable for adults and children
  • May cost less than traditional restorative treatment
  • Helps preserve more of your natural tooth

Protect and strengthen your enamel at home

Curodont Protect is a remineralising tooth gel containing peptide technology and fluoride. It creates a mineral-rich protective layer over the teeth, helping to:

  • Protect against decay and dental erosion
  • Strengthen and remineralise enamel
  • Reduce plaque build-up
  • Support teeth following Curodont Repair
  • Protect enamel during orthodontic and aligner treatment
  • Strengthen teeth following professional whitening

It is normally applied at home once or twice a week, following the advice of your dentist or hygienist.

Is Curodont suitable for me?

Curodont Repair is designed specifically for decay detected at an early stage. Once decay has progressed and a cavity has formed, treatment such as a filling may still be required.

Regular dental examinations give us the best opportunity to spot these early changes and treat them before they become more serious.

We offer a range of custom made protective guards which can be tailored for sports or for teeth that are vulnerable from particular habits.

Sports Guards

Unexpected dental trauma can occur in a diverse range of sports and activities. A well-fitting sports guard which is made specifically for you will be more secure and comfortable than a home moulded version and will help to protect your teeth in the event of an impact.

Protective Guards / Occlusal Splints

Our teeth can be at risk from obvious hazards such as contact sports but damage can also occur from habits such as teeth clenching or teeth grinding. These can be more subtle and often pass undetected for some time as they commonly occur whilst we are sleeping. Typical symptoms can include waking up with a headache or stiff, aching jaw joints and muscles.

Preventative action can avoid severe tooth wear or chipped and cracked teeth occurring and very complicated treatments being required at a later stage.

We can also provide specific types of guards, often known as splints. These can be helpful for some patients who experience imbalances with the way their teeth meet.

Orthodontic Retainers

If you have had, or are considering orthodontic work, you will need some means of maintaining your teeth in their new positions or they will drift back to where they were. This is a lifelong commitment and is generally achieved in two ways:

Fixed Wire Retainers

These are bonded onto the inside of your teeth using composite resin materials. Over time the composite will wear down and need maintaining or topping up. Regular checkups will help to anticipate this before the wire separates from the tooth and allows unwanted tooth movement.

Removable Retainers

These are usually worn overnight and may need replacement periodically from wear. Other not uncommon reasons where a new retainer may be necessary are: breakages, loss or consumption by the family dog!

Your orthodontist may advise you to use both types of teeth retainer and we can help you maintain or replace them as required.
