It’s commonly known that our saliva naturally does some remineralization of the enamel. The downside is that, when there are food asids and/or sugars on the enamel and they get mineralized in the presence of bacteria such as streptococcus mutans, these biofilms form calculus, which the dental hygienist scrapes off our teeth. Overall, however, the body does not naturally repair cracked or chipped teeth. There is some promising research toward a fluid that could be applied to help repair the enamel: “Cavities could be prevented by a gel that restores tooth enamel” in New Scientist 4 Nov. 2025
“Tooth loss linked to early signs of Alzheimer’s disease”

Older adults who have kept fewer than 10 of their natural teeth are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease or Dementia.
“How regrowing your own teeth could replace dentures and implants” <> 22 July, 2025
“Losing a tooth as an adult is par for the course for many of us. The only option to replace them? Artificial substitutes. But an era of regrowing living teeth may now be almost upon us
Many of us will lose an adult tooth in our lifetimes, whether through disease or misadventure – a punch that landed, a skateboarding trick that didn’t, say. And if you join these ranks, which include the nearly 178 million adults in the US who have lost at least one tooth, your options are pretty much the same as they have been for millennia: artificial replacement.
Dental technology has moved on since the ancient Etruscans fashioned fake teeth from oxen bones, but not much. The metal implants we use today tend to fail over time, causing significant pain when they do. But what if there were another way? What if, instead of implants and dentures, you could regrow lost teeth?
That’s the question a journalist asked Paul Sharpe about 20 years ago, changing the shape and direction of his research entirely. Sharpe, a craniofacial biologist at King’s College London, and his colleagues had been studying how a handful of cells become a mouthful of teeth for years. At the time, the field of tissue engineering was fairly well-established, in research if not in clinical practice. Regrowing teeth would be a natural extension. So Sharpe started thinking: “If we wanted to regrow a tooth, what would we need to do?””
It turns out there are a few ways to successfully regrow a lost tooth. Sharpe and his team spent around two decades figuring out one mechanism, while researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts pursued a different approach. Both have seen positive results in the lab. And right now, scientists in Japan are conducting clinical trials for a drug that promises to grow teeth in a person’s mouth more or less from scratch.””
New Scientist has always had great cutting edge articles on developments in science, especially the life sciences and medicine. It’s well worth the $9 a month subscription for those who can afford publications.
Proxental Topical Tooth Restoration Formula: The next entry is, unfortunately an advertisement, delivered with the usual (and usually fictitious) personal interest story to hook our interest. Here, it’s how an older pharmacist finds himself embarrassed and socially ostracized by his bad breath, BUT, Simple Promise is a company with great products and good deliveries. Moreover all the components that the infomercial, for those of you who endure it, list are great natural treatments for the teeth and the combination should work really well.The only thing I’d add to it, were I to be designing it, is nano particle hydroxyapetite. This substance is very close in composition to tooth enamel and is sold, even as flavored chewable lozenges to remineralize teeth after cleaning.
Anyway, if you can hack your way through the dramatization, the review of components is worth hearing about and the product appears likely to function really well. I was notified about it by a patient who mentioned having sensitive roots from congenetical gum recession. Applying it for a couple of months seemed to strengthen the gums and make the teeth much less sensitive. I know it’s anecdotal, but it’s worth checking out, and of course go to a licensed oral care specialist so that you can hear an opposing view from major pharmaceutical or oral care companies.
