Goodbye, cavities? New gel could regrow tooth enamel
Researchers have developed a fluoride-free gel that could help rebuild damaged tooth enamel, something the body cannot naturally replace once it is lost. Inspired by the proteins that guide enamel formation in infancy, the gel fills microscopic cracks and draws calcium and phosphate from saliva to grow a new mineral layer that closely matches healthy enamel.

Squirrel damage on my dwarf Alberta peach. You can see the tracks of the incisors on the left-hand fruit. #rodents #peaches #fruit #orchard #squirrels #teeth #incisors #garden
