Fluoride is currently relied on to slow enamel erosion but keratin-based treatments were found to stop it completely.

    How is this different from existing toothpastes that contain calcium sodium phosphosilicate (aka novamin) or hydroxyapatite? They already restore tooth enamel, and do a decent job at it.

    Annoyingly, I can find a million articles about the press release but not a single link to the actual study. Not even from the actual press release from the college. WTF.

      I’m reading this as it regrows enamel.

      That makes me wonder if it will slowly enlarge and fixed them all into two megateeth. NO MORE FLOSSING!

          Then you just brush the offending tooth with Nair until it dissolves away before filling the hole with fresh hair.
