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.

      There was a new development in japan less than a year ago. Downside is all your teeth fall out and all regrow

        I’m sorry, I thought you said there was a downside.

          You think teething and a soft food diet isn’t a downside? Any time I have anything done that requires soft food, I’m craving solid food within like three days. It sucks.

            Given the state of my teeth, I’m not far from that anyway.

            It didn’t sound like a big deal, but somehow you just instilled in me an existential dread of having no teeth to enjoy solid foods when craving some.

              Well you can still cut it into small pieces for minimal chewing. Last time I couldn’t have solid food at all.

      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.

      No offense, but unless you have some sort of condition like not growing enamel, what have you been doing for your teeth to be that bad at not even 50? Chewing on anvils and flossing with barbed wire?
