Fluoride/Varnish
Did you know plaque can result in acids that wear down your enamel and sap important minerals from your teeth? This process, known as demineralization, can negatively impact your oral health by making you more susceptible to cavities.
Fluoride aids in the fight against tooth decay in a process known as remineralization. When incorporated into the teeth and enamel, fluoride strengthens your teeth by making them more resistant to demineralization.
At Les Belles NYC, we recommend fluoride in moderation as a preventative measure to ensure your teeth remain healthy.
Dental Sealants
What are dental sealants and how do they help? Put simply, dental sealants protect the natural grooves and fissures of your molars from the accumulation of bacteria which can cause decay. Children, in particular, benefit from dental sealants. When permanent molars erupt, they have newly exposed, hard-to-clean fissures and grooves where bacteria can collect and produce the acids that cause dental decay. Dental sealants offer a protective shield for those areas.
At Les Belles NYC, our commitment is to help our patients and their families achieve and maintain a high level of oral health. To that end, we use biocompatible materials that are safe for children and adults.
Curodont
Treating cavities without the drill. Revolutionary regeneration science with Curodont, now available at Les Belles.
Curodont is a Swiss-engineered treatment for pre-cavities and early cavities using a biomimetic peptide applied on the surface of the tooth. After 10 years of effective use in Europe, it’s now available in the U.S., and Les Belles is one of the first practices in New York to utilize it.
Curodont is a non-invasive treatment that prevents the need for drilling cavities, and can stop, prevent, and even reverse cavities that have begun forming on the surface of the teeth. This revolutionary approach regrows enamel, and is backed by cellular regeneration science.
