#2Please get those crooked dentists out of work, as much as possible.

#3> The lozenge produces new enamel that is whiter than what tooth-whitening strips or gels produce.
I wonder how white?
I'm a bit nervous about having those over-whitened glow-in-the-dark teeth, that you sometimes see. Memories of that Friends episode, too.

#4Assuming this works, isn't this pretty much game over for dentists? I'm aware that dentists do more than fillings, but it seems like there would be a serious contraction, even if this costed something like $1000 a tooth after insurance.
That being said, even if this worked, it's not like it's instant, so you still have to be careful with your teeth. I wonder how this differs from novamin, which supposedly does the same thing and you can already purchase now.

Unfortunately, no. These only deposit a couple micrometers of enamel per day if used twice daily. They could potentially help as a form of preventative maintenance, but reversing significant dental cavities seems unlikely.

Presumably no sugar being the primary factor. No carbs too?
