Dental ?: Curodant for cavity reversal

[Anonymous]

Has anyone tried Curodant? My dentist recommended it to remineralize teeth in places where erosion or small cavities have just started to form.

Here's a website that explains it
https://professional.vvardis.com/product/curodont-repair/

It sounds almost to good to be true but if it works, way better than getting cavities and undergoing the drill. $100+ per tooth or around $500 for the full mouth, likely repeated in a couple years.

Scam or worthwhile? If you've done it, does that pricing sound comparable?

Also has anyone's insurance covered this? We have Aetna dental.

Never heard of it.

I know it is possible to remineralize your teeth, including if you have small cavities that are forming. You can do it more cheaply than $100, but it might be more convenient to use this process if you aren't able to do it on your own. However if you have one cavity forming, that means your moth has the conditions to form more cavities - so it would be better to stop them from forming in the first place.

To understand how to keep your teeth and gums healthy, I highly recommend Dr Ellie and her recently updated book, Kiss Your Dentist Goodby. (although, no she doesn't recommend never having a dental checkup! It's just a catchy title.)

She would say, to remineralize your teeth - you need to promote the flow of saliva, which naturally remineralizes your teeth all day long.

Fight Back

If you want to stop a cavity or reverse one, you must do more than brush and floss. You need to:

1. Eradicate cavity-forming germs
2. Eat and drink well
3. Protect your teeth from acidity
4. Use products that strengthen enamel
5. Help teeth re-build themselves
6. Use an oral care system that makes teeth more acid-resistant
7. Know what may put you at greater risk

1. Eradicate Cavity Germs- xylitol after meals, when mouth is dry.

2. Eat and Drink Well- avoid sipping, even water, all day long.

3. Protect Teeth from Acidity- xylitol after meals or drinks.

4. Use Products that Strengthen Teeth- xylitol and fluoride

5. Help Teeth Re-build Themselves- promote healthy saliva; esp in the afternoons. After lunch, give your teeth a few hours where you don't eat or drink.

6. Use an Oral Care System that makes Teeth More Acid-Resistant- speeds up transfer of minerals from saliva to enamel

7. Know What May Put You at Greater Risk- dry mouth, poor saliva quality

Oh I sip water all day or even worse, lemon water or tea. I am my teeth's enemy.

But is #6 what the dentist is suggesting or something else?

But I thought xylitol was "bad" for us now? That and stevia.

[Anonymous]

For me $500 would be worth the gamble because drilling does result in weaker teeth long term.

[Anonymous]

I would 100% try this. Going to see if my doctor offers it.

Hi Dr Ellie!

Xylitol in mint and gum is good for your teeth specially after a meal.
Basically the bad bacteria can’t digest xylitol like regular sugar so it prevents plaque formation in addition the extra saliva mineralize your teeth.
Don’t use xylitol in large quantities for baking or sugar substitute.

No -- #6 is Dr Ellie's mouthcare "system" (No, I am not Dr Ellie or a shill for her). She worked out a very sensible set of products that you use in the correct order to keep your gums and teeth healthy. They are plain ordinary tooth care products, she doesn't sell them or make money off of recommending them, but they have to be the particular ones she recommends.

Closys
Crest Cavity Protection Toothpaste - no whitening, nothing extra
Listerine (Cool Mint Flavor - nothing extra)
Act Flouride Rinse(Mint Flavor - nothing extra)

Sipping water all day long (or lemon water, or tea) is somewhat bad for your teeth. It thins out your saliva which is what is actually helping to remineralize your teeth, basically.

It's not the acidity that is the problem, really. It's that anything that interferes with your saliva in the process of remineralizing the teeth - that's bad.

So eat and drink at mealtimes... that's fine. Then have a period of a couple hours where you don't eat or drink anything (even water). Especially in the afternoons. That gives your saliva a good amount of time to do it's thing.

If you are CONSTANTLY swigging water, every hour, your saliva just doesn't have enough time to do what it is supposed to do.
