Let me guess. It's only costs $4,500.00 per gram.

So it will wear away your natural teeth then.

Unless you get the whole lot done.

Likely it needs to be replaced every 10 years.

Great business model.

Maybe they can figure out how to put that in a mouthwash. The Japanese already use Hydroxyapatite instead of fluoride in their toothpaste. Also I'm also not sure you can switch when teeth have already been impregnated with one or the other substance.
