Do Teeth Heal Naturally?
I'm not talking about like chips or other series impacts. I'm talking about like if a metal utensil hit your teeth somewhat hard, and it made a mark that was .01 millimeter deep. Overtime does that slight mark fill in?
I looked for the answer but every search lead me to a reading about remineralization...I guess this is the process of restoring the enamel, so it it true that only the enamel can heal itself (remineralize) and whatever is under it can't? Also how thick is the enamel? Because then I could figure out if the collision with the metal utensil likely went beyond it or not.
I look out for myself and curious most of the time, so that's why I ask.
