Curodont Repair is an exciting treatment option we offer at Small Smiles Pediatric Dentistry in Garden City, NY. This gentle, non-invasive fluoride-based therapy is designed to help remineralize and repair early white spots on your child’s teeth—often caused by plaque buildup during orthodontic treatment. While these white spots may seem cosmetic, they can actually be early signs of enamel breakdown and potential decay. Curodont works by encouraging the natural healing of enamel, helping restore the tooth’s appearance and protect it from future damage. Best of all, it’s completely painless and safe for kids and teens.
How Can Curodont Repair Help My Child?
If your child has recently had their braces removed and you’ve noticed small white spots left behind, Curodont Repair can help. These spots are early signs of enamel demineralization, and addressing them early can prevent cavities and strengthen your child’s teeth. Curodont doesn’t just mask the problem—it helps the tooth naturally rebuild itself from within. With no drilling, no discomfort, and no downtime, it’s a smart, proactive solution for improving both the health and appearance of your child’s smile.
DID YOU KNOW?
Curodont Repair uses a bioactive peptide matrix to support natural enamel regeneration—no drilling required!

The Curodont Repair Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
At your child’s visit, Dr. Manpreet Dhillon or Dr. Ravneet Dhillon will examine their teeth to see if Curodont Repair is a good option. If we see signs of white spots or early demineralization, we’ll explain how the treatment works and walk you through what to expect.
Application of Curodont
Once we’re ready to begin, we’ll gently clean the affected tooth or teeth. Then we’ll apply the Curodont solution directly to the white spots. This solution contains a special peptide that helps the enamel start rebuilding naturally. The entire process is quick, simple, and completely painless.
Follow-Up and Results
We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to check your child’s progress and make sure the enamel is healing as expected. Most children start seeing visual improvements within a few weeks, and the results continue to improve over time. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference in your child’s long-term oral health.

If there is a shift in the position of a tooth/teeth
- This is urgent! Contact a dentist for an emergency appointment ASAP
- If injury occurs outside of business hours visit the emergency room
If an adult tooth is knocked out
- Handle the tooth by the crown, try to avoid touching the root
- Rinse the tooth with milk or saline, DO NOT SCRUB
- Place the tooth back into the socket if possible
- If not, store the tooth in milk, saliva or saline. Do NOT store in alcohol, water or mouthwash. Adult teeth can be re-implanted by a dentist

How to Reduce the Risk of Dental Trauma
Dental injuries are very common amongst active children. Here are some tips to reduce your child's risk of experiencing serious dental trauma.
Safe Play Environments
- Check play areas for younger children for hard surfaces and sharp corners, try to child-proof or limit access to such areas
- Keep hard objects and toys away from young children especially when they are teething (ages 0-3)
Preventing Sports-Related Trauma
- Helmets, facemasks and mouthguards reduce both the frequency and severity of dental/facial trauma.
- Mouthguards are highly recommended for all collision and contact sports and help prevent injuries such as broken or displaced teeth, jaw-joint injury, lip/cheek/chin lacerations and even concussions
- Custom mouthguards made by a dental provider offer the highest level of protection and can be made for children of all ages
- Pre-formed stock mouthguards and boil and bite mouthguards are more affordable alternatives which offer a lower level of protection than custom mouthguards but still reduce the risk and severity of injury
Education and Preparation
- Even with safeguards in place injuries happen! Learning how to manage dental injuries will help the adults managing the situation stay calm and act fast
- Some children are more prone to dental injury depending on their unique dental anatomy. Regular dental check ups will help identify potential risks and a dental provider can offer personalized suggestions
