    Tooth without consequences?

    A French science team has come up with an idea to treat tooth decay without drillings and fillings. But keep brushing, it's only in clinical trials.

    Being one of those people who hates dental visits (but does em anyway), this has a lot of promise in my book...

    This would be amazing ;x it really would. I hate having my teeth drilled, especially seeing as I only drink water, brush/floss 3 times a day, avoid most candy and don't eat chocolate, then I go in and have a cavity.

    thisis gotta be the best thing i've heard in this manner.
    got extremely vulnerable teeth. Can't eat chocolate, can't drink soda.
    And if this is done properly and doesnt cost a House for a tooth it would be very helpful.

    They said it'll only be useful for a limited number of situations. So you guys better learn how to handle the tooth.

    Meh, don't do much for me. I've only had 1 cavity my entire life, and that was when I was like 7, ate candy all the time and sucked at brushing my teeth and did it half-assed because it was so god damned boring. And milk teeth doesn't really matter if you get a cavity in.

    I asked my dentist about that a while back and he said some people are genetically predisposed to cavities, so maybe you just don't have the good teeth genes. It's kind of like how some guys are predisposed to male-pattern baldness. It doesn't matter if they wear a tight hat all the time (doesn't cause hair loss), eat healthy (will not slow hair loss), or exercise regularly/stay in great shape (will not slow hair loss). Your genes will determine that, not any activity or thing you do short of using Rogaine or another hair loss Rx.
