Our teeth are exposed to bacteria every day. Sweet and salty foods, hot and cold beverages, and tooth decay can all contribute to the breakdown of enamel. While enamel is a strong protective layer, it is not indestructible. A slow loss of minerals (demineralization) is a process in which teeth lose calcium and phosphorus, making them more vulnerable to various dental conditions, such as pulpitis.

What is Tooth Remineralization?

To strengthen the teeth and replenish essential elements, remineralization therapy is performed. This method helps restore the tooth structure and increases resistance to cavities. Special formulations are applied to the tooth surface, containing fluoride, calcium, phosphates, and other essential trace elements.

Indications for Remineralization Therapy

Professional enamel restoration by a dentist is recommended in the following cases:

Early signs of caries (white spots);
After orthodontic treatment with braces;
In cases of increased tooth sensitivity;
During active tooth development in children;
Following teeth whitening procedures;
In cases of enamel hypoplasia or hypomineralization.

Remineralization is an excellent solution for those struggling with tooth sensitivity. At Roccadent Dental Clinic, we use advanced technologies and proven materials that help patients smile with confidence!

Preparation and Procedure

Preparation for enamel remineralization consists of three stages:

Professional examination and cleaning of plaque and tartar;
Treatment of cavities and any inflammatory conditions;
Use of gels or pastes at home, if recommended.

The procedure itself is quick — up to 30 minutes. It is completely comfortable and painless. The total time spent in the dental chair depends on the condition of the teeth. The remineralization process typically involves:

Surface preparation – the dentist cleans the enamel using ultrasonic scaling and dries the surface to allow deep penetration of the active ingredients;
Application of the product – materials enriched with calcium, phosphorus, or fluoride are applied;
Post-procedure recommendations – the dentist will advise on diet and oral care for the following two hours.

After completing the full course, you will notice a significant reduction in tooth sensitivity. Your smile will appear healthier, and the teeth will be better protected from acids and temperature fluctuations.
