There are not enough free toothbrushes in the world to make going to the dentist not suck.
Whether it's the awkward sensation of having a stranger poke around your mouth with a sharp object, or the fact that they may discover some problem in there that needs to be FIXED WITH A GODDAMN DRILL, it's reasonable to feel a sense of dread wash over you every time you hop into the exam chair.
Fortunately, scientists have discovered a revolutionary new dental treatment that would enable your teeth to painlessly heal themselves. Hope is alive and well!
In a new paper published in Scientific Reports, researchers at King's College London claim that a drug known for treating Alzheimer's disease can also be used to stimulate the renewal of stem cells inside our teeth, which means that when properly administered, it could compel your cavity-riddled teeth to essentially fill and fix themselves. In short, that means a lot of painful dental procedures may soon be a thing of the past. https://www.thrillist.com/tech/nation/new-pill-cavity-filling-heals-teeth-without-dentist-drill/tech
