remineralizing

Adding minerals back

Remineralizing describes the process of restoring minerals to something that has lost them.

The term appears most often in dental contexts, where remineralizing toothpastes and treatments aim to rebuild tooth enamel by depositing calcium and phosphate back into its structure.

Water and soil can also undergo remineralizing processes.
