It is not a mineral because it is organic and minerals are inorganic.

Calcium is the mineral essential for preventing tooth decay.

Oxygen isn't a mineral, It's a gas. Mineral's are like rocks.
I am not 100% sure about all of the chemicals in the tooth, but i think the main ones are Calcium, this is used to give the strength to the tooth, Hydroxyapatite, when this is mixed with another chemical/mineral it becomes Calcium. I'm not sure about the mineral that mixes with hydroxyapatite, sorry!
An apexification is a promotion of tooth root development by deposition of mineral tissue.

Fluoride is the mineral that helps prevent tooth decay. It can be incorporated into your dental care routine by using fluoride toothpaste, drinking fluoridated water, and getting professional fluoride treatments from your dentist.
Calcium is an essential mineral important in tooth development. It helps to provide strength and structure to the teeth, contributing to their overall health and maintenance.
Essential nutrients are just that; essential! They do not cause tooth decay as such or else all of us would be suffering from tooth decay! Now, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats and minerals are what are generally taught as the essential nutrients. Of these it is carbohydrates that have a direct link to tooth decay( called dental caries). Carbohydrates in the presence of certain bacteria and other congenial atmosphere bring about the breakdown of tooth structure.
The answer is Phosphorus. I just took a college exam and the answer was correct. I am studying to become a Dental Assistant.
Yes, it is a chemical change. It is a reaction of lactic acid (acid produced by bacteria) and hydroxyapatite (mineral component present in enamel and dentin).
Fluoride is commonly added to drinking water to help reduce tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel. It is a naturally occurring mineral that has been proven to be an effective method of improving dental health and preventing cavities.
