Answer to prayer that the Dental union is likely not to want allowed into the US. Too much money to lose.

Your body already does this. If one gets religion about proper brushing and flossing, demineralized, but not yet carious spots (breaches through all enamel) observable on radiographs will re-mineralize from the calcium ion present in saliva enough to show improvement on subsequent films. The presence of fluoride ion from dental products hastens this reaction. Good to know this type of calcium will be sought after, causing the price to come down in implant and other surgical uses.
FSHTX AHS and DENTAC All The Way!

Thank heavens the British have something to help their teeth! Goodness knows that socialized health care has not helped.

Ha ha haaaa ha ha! I wouldn't trust the Japanese to come up with something to fix teeth... You should see how bad the teeth are here. They make British teeth look like shiny pearly whites. Brown, mouth full of metal, snaggle tooth crooked, you name it.

my teeth are terrible: inherited tendency to decalcify and spall.

"Dr Yamagishi and colleagues developed a crystalline white paste of modified hydroxyapatite, which is chemically and structurally similar to natural enamel, and used it to repair early damage to a lower premolar tooth. "
Does anyone actually think this will make it to the public with out going through a dentist? It will be years before the general public gets to use anything like this... without a dentist doing it.
Too much money at stake in too many places. Our FDA, FTC, etc will help to prevent the public from getting this stuff.. for years... without a dentist administering it.
