remineraliseerimine
Remineraliseerimine refers to the process of restoring lost minerals, primarily calcium and phosphate, to demineralised tooth enamel. This is a crucial natural process that helps to repair early stages of tooth decay. When teeth are exposed to acids, often from the bacteria in our mouths metabolizing sugars, minerals are leached out of the enamel. This demineralisation weakens the tooth structure. Remineralisation is the body's defence mechanism against this process.
Saliva plays a key role in remineralisation. It contains dissolved minerals like calcium and phosphate ions,
Factors that promote remineralisation include good oral hygiene, a diet low in sugars and acids, and regular
