Toothpaste Made from Hair for Self-Healing Teeth
Researchers from King’s College London have made a groundbreaking discovery in dental care, utilizing hair protein to create a toothpaste that enables teeth to repair themselves.
Tooth problems have been a long-standing issue for humans, with current solutions often involving drilling and filling. However, a new study reveals that a toothpaste containing keratin, a protein found in hair and wool, can help teeth heal without the need for synthetic fillings.
Dental enamel, the hardest substance in the human body, protects teeth from damage but lacks the ability to heal itself. When enamel is eroded, it can lead to cavities and a cycle of drilling and filling that can ultimately result in tooth failure.
The secret is keratin: the tough, fibrous protein found in hair and wool.
This innovative approach to dental care may revolutionize the way we treat tooth problems, providing a more natural and effective solution.
