Tooth decay is caused by acid-producing bacteria that collect around the teeth and gingiva (gums) in a sticky, clear film called “plaque.” Without good daily oral hygiene and regular dental visits, teeth become more prone to tooth decay. Brushing twice a day and cleaning between teeth with floss or another type of cleaner that goes between the teeth will help remove plaque. Regular dental examinations and cleanings also are important for keeping teeth healthy. Another preventative measure for good oral health is to use a mineralizing agent that helps prevent tooth decay and can repair teeth in the very early, microscopic stages of the disease. This agent plays a major role in preventing the demineralization of the enamel (the outermost covering of the tooth).
It is important to remineralize the teeth regularly to protect the natural teeth from damages. Apart from making sure that your diet avoids sugary, sticky, and carb-rich foods, there are some home remedies like choosing a toothpaste that is rich in minerals which will also help to remineralize the teeth. Our doctors will guide you on how to choose the best toothpaste for your oral condition. We offer in-office tooth remineralization procedures like fluoride therapy, sealants, and MI paste which help to rebuild the minerals on the teeth. According to the severity of the demineralization, at-home or in-office therapies may be recommended to you.
