New Enamel Repair - and yeah it sounds weird (Patreon)
Content
I spent all week debating with myself whether I should share this or not, but here goes - and as I know as we get older our teeth get older and need some TLC along the way... this could help us all:
Scientists at King's College London made an exciting breakthrough—they found that keratin, a protein from sheep's wool (and stuff like our hair and skin), can fix and shield tooth enamel. You just apply a thin layer to your teeth, and it mixes with minerals in your spit to create a crystal coating that acts like real enamel, pulling in calcium and phosphate to rebuild it slowly.
Lab tests showed it forms a tough new layer in about a month, which could lead to cheap toothpastes or coatings hitting stores soon - ie save a fortune on dentists.
This natural fix might swap out those yucky fake fillings for something tougher, prettier, and safer. As we get older, our enamel wears out from acids in food, drinks, and germs, causing sensitivity, cavities, and pricey dentist visits—stuff like fillings or crowns can cost a fortune, so lots of folks skip them. Affordable home options like this could be a total game-changer.
