Why it matters

Early decay deserves an early, conservative response.

Some initial areas of enamel breakdown can be detected before a cavity has progressed far enough to require drilling. Curodont is applied to qualifying lesions to support the tooth’s natural remineralization process.

It is not a substitute for a filling when decay is already cavitated or advanced. Careful diagnosis and follow-up imaging determine whether the lesion is a good candidate and whether it remains stable.

What we evaluate

The details that shape the right plan.

01

Early X-ray finding

A small between-tooth lesion may be identified before symptoms.

02

White spot lesion

Mineral loss may appear as a chalky enamel area.

03

Higher decay risk

Dry mouth, diet, or history can increase risk.

04

No surface cavity

The enamel surface must still meet treatment criteria.

05

Orthodontic changes

White spots may appear around brackets or attachments.

06

Preventive opportunity

The lesion is early enough for conservative management.

Timing

The window for noninvasive care is limited.

An early lesion can progress. Treating and monitoring it now may preserve more natural tooth structure, while delay may change the recommended treatment.
