Keratin-based toothpaste could fix damaged teeth

Toothpaste made of human hair can be “transformative” for damaged teeth.

Keratin – human locks, a protein found on skin and nails – when mixed with minerals in the saliva, produces an intensive protective layer -like protective layer -like protective layer.

It protects the teeth and protects them from the exposed nerve ducts that cause sensitivity.

According to the King’s College London, the study can be given as a professional gel, similar to a toothpaste for daily use or a professional similar to nail varnish for more targeted repair “.

And he believes that a keratin -based toothpaste can be open to the public in the “next two to three years”.

King King’s College London, the author and doctoral researcher Sara Gamea said: “Keratin offers a transforming alternative to existing dental treatments.

“Not only does it supply from biological waste materials such as hair and skin, but also eliminates the need for traditional plastic resins commonly used in toxic and less resistant restorative restorative dentistry.

“Keratin seems much more natural than these treatments, as it can match the color of the original tooth more closely.”
