That’s really interesting.
I’ve had a toothpaste ingredient called Novamin on my radar for a while now - it is not widely available in the U.S. and there’s some question as to it’s efficacy over regular toothpaste, but I’ve used it to more or less permanently address tooth sensitivity issues - so I’m a believer.
If this peptide could be used to boost the binding between calcium and phosphorus and your teeth, perhaps it could work in concert with regular toothpaste or novamin-containing toothpastes to help rebuild teeth that are weak or have small amounts of damage.
