No, once tooth enamel is lost, your body cannot regrow it on its own. Because it has no living cells or blood vessels like skin or bone, enamel cannot repair itself in the same way. However, if the damage is in its earliest stages before a cavity forms, our Wilmington dentist may be able to treat it with Curodont™ repair.
How Curodont Supports Enamel Restoration
Curodont is a treatment that your dentist applies in the office. It uses a special formula that helps minerals from your saliva rebuild weakened enamel below the surface. Patients appreciate this treatment because it:
- Does not require drilling, needles, or numbing
- Takes about 8–10 minutes
- May show results within 3–6 months
- Can be repeated or paired with fluoride
Curodont works best in the earliest stage of tooth damage. If a cavity already exists, your dentist will still need to recommend a filling or other treatment.
Is Curodont Right for You?
Not all damaged tooth enamel qualifies for this early treatment. Your Curodont dentist Wilmington team at Justison and Gladnick Family Dentistry can evaluate whether this approach is a good fit for you based on the stage and location of the damage.
