Tooth enamel is the strongest substance in the human body, but it has one weakness—it cannot heal itself. Sugary foods and acidic drinks damage enamel, and fluoride toothpaste can only protect, not rebuild. That’s why a new discovery has excited dentists worldwide—a toothpaste that repairs enamel naturally.
What Helps Enamel Repair?
Researchers at King’s College London found that keratin, a protein from hair and wool, helps enamel repair. When applied to teeth, it attracts calcium and phosphate from saliva, forming crystal-like layers that act like natural enamel.
Why Does This Discovery Change Things?
Fillings and synthetic coatings are weaker than natural enamel. The keratin solution is harder, looks natural, and has proven stronger than dental resins in multiple tests. It also seals sensitive areas, reducing pain and protecting exposed enamel.
Is It the Best Natural Option?
Keratin-based toothpaste is natural, safe, and cost-effective. Extracted from discarded hair and wool, it provides a sustainable way to repair enamel without harsh chemicals. Scientists believe it could replace chemical-based treatments in the near future.
The Future of Dental Care
Experts predict keratin toothpaste could reach the market within two to three years. If successful, it may lead to fewer cavities, less sensitivity, and healthier smiles through natural enamel repair.
