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’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.

        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.

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