Dentists reveal new tooth decay treatment

Important bit: "It could be available within three years."

So it might be available in 10 years or so.

Article is from June of 2014. Any updates on this technology?

In 1939, the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration was published. In it Weston A. Price explains that you can avoid cavities by eating a good diet. I wonder if most people will ever become aware of this. Probably not - they don't read much, and certainly not non-mainstream stuff like that book.

Edit: I would also recommend reading The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, since Weston A. Price did not get everything right.

I've often heard conspiracy theorists say that if dentists ever learned of a way to cure cavities more cheaply and without drilling, they'd suppress the information as it would endanger their business. I think this is insane, but can anyone offer a sound economic argument for why dentists would embrace the new technique instead of cartelling up to suppress it?
