What Is Curodont?
Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, made by the Swiss company vVARDIS, is a liquid treatment for early tooth decay. It contains a peptide that moves into the weakened enamel and forms a framework there. Calcium and phosphate from your own saliva then build up on that framework, helping the enamel repair itself from the inside.
Because the treatment works with your tooth instead of removing part of it, your natural tooth structure is preserved.

Who Curodont Is For
Curodont is designed for decay caught early, before a cavity forms. Dr. Kaceli will check whether it's right for your tooth.
- Early decay that shows as a chalky white spot
- Early decay between teeth seen on X-rays, before it breaks through
- Children and adults who want to avoid a filling when possible
- Patients at higher risk of cavities who want extra protection
If decay has already formed a hole in the tooth, Curodont can't rebuild it, and a tooth-colored filling is the better option.
What to Expect at Your Visit
- Finding it earlyEarly decay is found at a dental exam, using X-rays and intraoral camera photos.
- Preparing the toothThe tooth surface is cleaned and gently prepared so the liquid can reach the weakened enamel.
- Applying CurodontThe liquid is applied directly to the spot. It takes only a few minutes, with no drilling and no injections.
- MonitoringRepair happens gradually over the following weeks and months, and we check the area at your regular visits.
Part of a Preventive Plan
Curodont works best as part of a plan to keep new decay from starting. That may include fluoride varnish, a check of your saliva's pH to understand your cavity risk, and regular cleanings.
