Do you think slight chips on the incisors caused by pen-biting or tooth on tooth contact can be re-mineralized in some way? I've heard that this is sometimes possible with small cavities and was wondering about the tooth edges. thanks
Hey, we wish lol! No unfortunately if tooth tissue has been lost, it will never grow back per say. The current structure that is there can however become hardened by using fluoride to form fluorohydroxyapatite which makes it less soluble and can reverse very low levels of decay (like white spot carious lesions). Hope that helps
