Remineralisation of teeth

Teeth sensitivity, the appearance of white spots, reaction to cold or hot, frequent tooth decay - all this may indicate a weakening of tooth enamel. Enamel - is a strong but vulnerable protective layer that is exposed to acids, bacteria and mechanical stress every day. The gradual loss of minerals, or demineralization of enamel, disrupts its protective function, increases the risk of caries and increased tooth sensitivity.

Modern dentistry offers a simple solution - tooth remineralization. This is a method that allows you to saturate the enamel with minerals, restore its structure and stop destruction. It is important to understand that tooth remineralization - is not just a cosmetic procedure, but an effective way to prevent and combat early manifestations of caries.

In dentistry «Oxford Medical» In Kyiv, we perform remineralization according to the latest protocols: painlessly, effectively, with the selection of drugs according to your clinical case.

Teeth remineralization— is a procedure to restore the mineral composition of enamel by applying preparations containing calcium, fluorine, phosphates and other trace elements. Normally, these minerals enter the enamel naturally — with saliva. However, when exposed to an aggressive environment or impaired hygiene, this balance changes, and tooth demineralization occurs — This is the loss of minerals from the enamel, which gradually weakens its protective properties.

As a result of the loss of minerals, the enamel becomes thinner, sensitivity appears, white spots form on the teeth,cracks in the enamel, and resistance to bacteria decreases.

The goal of remineralization is to restore tooth enamel, reduce its permeability and sensitivity, and strengthen protection against caries.

The procedure is recommended in the following cases:

• initial signs of caries (white spots without defects);

• hypersensitivity of teeth to temperature or acidic stimuli;

• prevention of caries in children and adults;

• period after removing braces;

• recovery after whitening or polishing procedures;

• dental enamel hypoplasia or erosion of tooth enamel;

• increased abrasion, small cracks on the teeth;

• frequent use of sweets, carbonated or acidic foods;

• lack of minerals in the diet or a general decrease in the quality of saliva.

After professional hygiene, remineralization also helps strengthen tooth enamel, especially if soft and hard deposits have been removed.

Before remineralization, it is necessary to prepare the surface of the teeth:

• carry out professional hygiene — remove plaque and tartar;

• polish the enamel;

• if necessary, treat caries or inflammatory processes in the oral cavity.

After that, the doctor can immediately proceed to applying the product or recommend a short course of home preparation using pastes or gels.

This increases the effectiveness of tooth enamel coating and improves the penetration of minerals into the tissue structure.

To maintain the effect for a long time:

• use a paste with calcium and fluoride recommended by your doctor;

• do not consume products with high acidity immediately after the procedure;

• avoid abrasive pastes;

• undergo professional hygiene every 6 months;

• observe daily oral hygiene;

• repeat the enamel remineralization course 1-2 times a year.

This approach allows you to stabilize the result, restore tooth enamel and maintain its protective properties for a long time.

Despite its effectiveness and safety, remineralization is not a universal method and cannot always replace full-fledged dental treatment. There are situations in which the procedure is either ineffective or requires prior elimination of other problems.

In some cases, when damage to tooth enamel is severe or accompanied by its loss, the doctor may recommend alternative methods - for example, restoration, composite coating or calcification of teeth, rather than remineralization.
