The results of a bone density scan will assist the provider in determining bone treatment options when needed.
What causes demineralization?
Demineralization happens when there’s a shortage of mineral ions in the oral environment compared to your tooth enamel’s mineral content. The organic acids produced by plaque and bacteria eat away the enamel crystal, resulting in porous tooth enamel and cavities.
