Oral health professionals are well-positioned to make individualized clinical recommendations regarding diet, oral self-care, and product selection in order to encourage remineralization.

Various preventive therapies are available to encourage remineralization and inhibit demineralization.

Products that aid in the remineralization process should be considered as part of an overall caries prevention and management plan for at-risk patients.

Sports and energy drinks are designed to prevent dehydration and replenish energy, but they also contribute to the demineralization of tooth enamel.

When addressing the oral health and esthetic concerns of a patient with gastroparesis, effective patient education, risk assessment, and appropriate therapies are integral to successful treatment.

Diet, lifestyle, and poor oral hygiene can tilt the scales toward demineralization, but many strategies are available to support remineralization.

Employing remineralization strategies instead of providing restorative care may be the most prudent approach to saving tooth structure.

Implementing strategies to encourage remineralization is key to a successful caries prevention regimen.

Calcium phosphate technologies may support the remineralization process, thereby helping to ensure the integrity of the tooth surface in the face of mineral loss.

Noninvasive strategies to support remineralization are important components of the modern caries prevention continuum.
