Demineralization is the process of losing minerals (mainly calcium) from any of the hard tissues: enamel, dentin, and cement. It starts at the surface and can progress either to cavitation (tooth decay) or to erosion (tooth wear). Dental demineralization is caused by acids produced by bacteria in the dental plaque biofilm, while tooth erosion is caused by acids from non-bacterial sources.
What you can do to prevent dental demineralization in both adults and especially children:
- See a specialist for any change in the color of your tooth enamel.
- Any long-term/ chronic medication (sweetened) is a risk factor for demineralization. Read about the effects of sucrose medicines here.
- Avoid sugary foods from the supermarket (read the leaflets) but also the dishes cooked at home.
- Avoid sodas and sweetened juices. Water is the best moisturizer.
- Cheese and dairy products are the best sources of calcium for remineralization.
- Brush and supervise the child’s toothbrushing technique until the age of 10.
- Fluoridated toothpaste is chosen differently depending on 3 age categories: 0-2 years, 2-6 years, 6-12 years.
If you still have problems with dental demineralization, today there are modern and non-invasive treatments (without dental milling or local anesthesia).
