thewayneSome very interesting news from King's College, London. They've developed a new toothpaste based on keratin, rather than fluoride, extracted from sheep's wool, and found that it restores teeth and builds better protection. The restoration process builds a scaffold-like structure on the teeth that attracts calcium and phosphate ions, building a calcium-like compound on the teeth, restoring protection.
Fluoride only slows the wear and tear on the teeth, it doesn't do anything to rebuild it.
The best thing is that this toothpaste could be on the market in 2-3 years!
