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.

Wonder if it will fix where I’ve ground the enamel down grinding my teeth?

In Japan they have been able to regrow teeth by deactivating the USAG-1 gene and just finished phase 1 trials with humans. We won't need to die in the future; it will be a choice. I hope I can be around to be able to make that decision. I'd love to spend another 500 years with my wife and family.

Nobody ever mentions gum health. People often lose teeth due to receding gums.

Thanks for sharing! I have suffered decades from tooth enamel loss and payed for bonding replacements more than I care to say. I hope the product is out soon.
