A pioneering treatment expected to be on the market next year could offer a lifeline for people suffering from tooth decay.
Scientists at the University of Nottingham, in collaboration with researchers worldwide, have developed a new gel that can repair and regenerate damaged tooth enamel.

It’s ‘irreparable’, tooth nerds!
Unrepairable is a perfectly cromulent word.
ok but where do I get it in canada, and will it bankrupt me?
I’ve been hearing about amazing dental tech for a long time now it seems but we’re still using mostly the same stuff sans mercury amalgams, and the cost is still fucking insane. Please just help people. I’ve been wanting to fix my teeth so long but it’s just too much for what I need done.
you don’t eat an elephant in one bite. I was in your position many years ago - and I can relate to the anxiety you are feeling. The shame, the fear, the pain - I get it. My suggestion is to take it appointment by appointment. But trust me - teeth are fucking important. There are many things that could go wrong. I had some weird formation above my front teeth, and if I did leave it at that, I would have lost my face. Yes, almost the entire upper jaw, sinuses and nose.
Well, I did that, I spent a lot of time in the dentist chair getting all fixed up, so fear and pain aren’t really a factor. Shame, sure, I neglected them again due to depression and whatever cocktail of mental health problems I have, they were kinda messed up from the start and I never got braces. I have a partial denture in front so I don’t think that particular thing could happen to me but that’s scary. I’ve been taking regular care of whats left so idk, when I get insurance again I’ll have to see.
I can’t wait for a dental lobby to block this for income security.
These scientists really need to release some of this shit to the pubic. My whole life paralyzed mice have started to walk again, and yet these technologies never seem to escape the lab.
You can buy the Japanese toothpaste that has calcium phosphates and nano-hydroxyapatite https://www.sangi-co.com/en/products/apagard_premio/index.html
If they can fix my teeth without surgery/implants/etc and it’s cheap? Im SUPER down. This could be amazing tbh
Can I use this stuff to grow long pointy canine-like teeth?
Now is the time to invest in cat/dog ears.
Not financial advice.
Ditch FAANG, go for real fangs. Got it.
Asking the important question.
