Mineralized tissues

Mineralized tissues are hard parts of our bodies, such as bones and teeth, that are made up of minerals like calcium and phosphorus.

Think of your bones like a Lego tower. The minerals are like the blocks that stack together to make your bones strong and sturdy. Similarly, your teeth are like little houses made of sturdy minerals that can handle all the different foods you eat.

These mineralized tissues are super important because they help protect and support our bodies. Our bones protect our organs and allow us to move around, while our teeth help us chew our food so we can get all the nutrients we need.

But just like your Lego tower can get weaker if some of the blocks fall out, our mineralized tissues can also become weaker if we don't take care of them. That's why it's so important to eat healthy foods, exercise, and take care of our teeth by brushing and flossing every day.
