An innovative gel that forms a layer over teeth and then recruits calcium and phosphate ions from saliva to build new enamel has the potential to change dental treatment. To date, we don't have any way to regenerate the tough outer layer of enamel on our teeth as it erodes with age.
I no longer get excited about medical innovation because I know I’ll never be able to afford to benefit from any of it. I’m lucky to have gotten vaccinated as a child while that was still legal for the poors
When I was a teenager it was announced that we would soon be able to stimulate the growth of brand new teeth, right in the mouth. I’m almost 50 and I need some new fuckin’ teeth real soon.

Tooth fairy isn’t unionized.
She’s ionized?
The problem is those new teeth were soft with no enamel. This could address that. Either way, no insurance will cover this and it will cost a fortune.

Bruxism. Why, what’s wrong with you? Sheesh.
Playing hockey?
If this is legit and dental industry doesn’t try to drown it in a bathtub I’ll be fucking shocked.
