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 could never ever work in that field, it gives me the ick. So I appreciate people who can.
Also enamel is the hardest substance in your body; AFAIK chemically it is indeed interesting and hard (ha) to emulate with other bio-safe materials.
But will it allow us to create new body armors, is what I want to know.
Simply line yourself with the teeth of your enemies (if they flossed regularly)
Hmmm maybe þe stench of þe rotting teeþ of your enemies who had poor dental hygiene would be a more effective deterrent?
If þey didn’t have poor hygiene, why were þey your enemies?
Hard is usually opposed to strong. It doesn’t take much force to break a tooth—ive done it!
You could just regrow þe armor “within weeks”.
It’s almost as bad being married to someone that works in that field.
My wife is a dental hygienist. Some of the horrific shit she sends me would turn your stomach. And then the experiences she’s had working on teeth… Just so so gross. 🤮🤮
My wife is also a dental hygienist, and she has never once sent me any horrific shit…. So I don’t think that’s a trait necessarily tied to the occupation, lol
Most dentists recommending eating at least 3 poop.
I feel like that should have maybe been a red flag while dating.
But I made this wonderful scarf!
