Seems that a UK university (Leeds) has developed a new system for "curing" cavities without having to drill. Hallelujah !

They have licensed the technology on a worldwide basis to a Swiss firm in AG.

My guess is that it will be on the market in about three years.

Side effects.....?

Where do I volunteer and sign on the dotted line...?

Great. The only problem will be the cost. Can you imagine what the premium would be in CH for no-pain dentistry?

Time to think about going back to Uni and doing that dentistry course. 3 years down the line, you'll be able to able to pay most of your debts after dealing with a couple of cavities...

Is there a homeopathic alternative?

I had a friend with several visible cavities who cut all refined sugar and carbohydrates out of their diet- I mean all (that's way harder to do than it sounds) and a few months later the cavities were no longer there. So sugar pills are probably not a good answer .

just one question...

Watched this the other night.. had to fast forward through all the dental scenes

monkey.. I've not actually seen it for years, but ya I think I did the same. ( or hid behind the sofa perhaps )
