Scientists from France have been busy recently, recently they have discovered a tooth treatment gel that stimulates regrowth of your teeth. This means that there's no more need for you to visit the dentist and to deal with drills and fillings.
As for this gel, it is made out of natural chemical that is found in human body, and it has already been tested on mice with success. According to the results, cavities in teeth fill themselves after a month because peptide MSH that is used in gel encourages bone regeneration.
This gel sounds amazing, but so far, it's in early testing stage, and it will take years and a lot of testing before we see it being used by humans. Until then, we'll just have to rely on dentists to fill our teeth cavities.
