An Ounce of prevention is worth a Pound of cure.

If you had a way to reverse a problem or prevent a problem would you try? We have a treatment to help you reverse the beginning stages of tooth demineralization that can lead to tooth decay.

If tooth decay has not reached the inner layer of the tooth (dentin) the enamel can be strengthened and the decay process can be halted using a specialized treatment of MI Paste Plus and custom trays.

First, we make custom trays that will fit onto your teeth. These trays will hold the MI Paste Plus in contact with your teeth. The trays are worn daily at bedtime to strengthen  weakened areas of the tooth. MI Paste Plus has two main components, calcium phosphate and sodium fluoride. These components help strengthen the enamel portion of the tooth. By strengthening the enamel the demineralization process can be stopped and the tooth stabilized.

This minimally invasive technique can help you make your teeth healthier and stronger and possibly prevent you from needing tooth structure removed and replaced with a restoration.

Schedule an appointment for your evaluation.
