As you age your enamel becomes not as strong as before, loses minerals and turns cavity prone. The same process occurs in your bone structure. However, that is possible to help your non-cavitated teeth replenish some minerals with re-mineralizing therapy. To prevent your teeth from further damage try to get them covered with calcium based remedy or get deep fluoride treatment every 6 month. This can help you make your teeth stronger and reduce the risks of decay. In the meantime, you may also benefit from using calcium-based mouthwashes as far as enamel can absorb some amount of necessary components from it. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination and remineralizing treatment.

It seems remineralizing therapy cannot help you due to cavities in your teeth. Cavities are the sign of an obvious decay being in process. You can repair only non-cavitated teeth with fluoride and calcium based remedies.

Having sensitive enamel may cause some inconveniences while having your meal or drinking. You may also feel less desire to brushing your teeth. Such situation can be fixed using re-mineralizing remedies with fluoride formula. Fluorides are active and tend to hold on the surface they were applied to, so their main activity is to seal your dentine tubules. This can help you reduce your teeth sensitivity. Remember to brush your teeth twice a day thoroughly cleaning off all food residues. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination and treatment.
It seems your teeth are quite healthy. At the same time, your desire to keep them strong is good. Unaffected teeth can also undergo re-mineralizing therapy during your regular dental cleaning procedure. Ask your dentist to cover your teeth with calcium-based solution once your enamel is clean and polished. Remember to have a well-balanced diet taking less of acidic foods and beverages.
Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine whether re-mineralizing therapy can be effective for you or not and find a suitable solution. Please, contact your dentist for more information and further examination.
