Can we wipe out bacteria that cause dental cavities? Maybe we can!
Flame Health Dentistry are again amazed by a new dental breakthrough!
Scientists have created a new molecule that can wipe out bacteria that cause cavities in just 60 seconds. This could make teeth cavity-proof and may change dental care forever.
Researchers José Córdoba from Yale University and Erich Astudillo from the University of Chile say that the molecule can be added to any dental care product, like toothpaste and mouthwash and even to sweets and chewing gum.
Human safety trials need to be passed in the US before it can be put to market. Flame Health Dentistry will be keeping a close eye on this!
