Imagine never having to face your dentist’s drill again. No more needles… no more “floppy lips” or embarrassing drooling afterwards… and no more pain.
Doctors at Britain’s University of Leeds may have just made the drill obsolete. Their breakthrough actually helps teeth reverse decay and repair themselves. And their discovery may not only save you from pain… it could save you thousands of dollars in dental bills, too.
Here’s the story…
Within 20 minutes of eating, bacteria in your mouth begin to combine with food particles and your saliva. Together, they form plaque deposits on your teeth.
The bacteria also convert sugars and starches in your food to acid. This acid eats tiny holes – called micro-pores – in your teeth. Over time, the acid enlarges the pores more and more – until you have a “cavity.”
You usually don’t notice a cavity growing, because there are no nerve endings in your tooth enamel. But as the cavity grows larger, it can eat down to where there are nerve endings – or even fracture your tooth.
When this happens, you need a filling… a crown… a root canal… or maybe even an extraction. And any one of these procedures can be painful.
The researchers at the University of Leeds discovered how to “train” teeth to rebuild healthy enamel while cavities are still at the micro-pore stage. The secret is a tiny molecule called a peptide.
Peptides are sort of like mini-proteins. Their structure is very similar to a protein, but usually much simpler.
The doctors at Leeds discovered a special peptide – called P11-4 – can assemble itself into fibers. They’ve created a fluid that triggers this action and can be “painted” onto a tooth’s surface.
When their “magic fluid” comes into contact with your saliva, it forms a gel. A gel loaded with these special peptide fibers that build a sort of scaffolding in the micro-pores.
And here’s where it gets really interesting. Calcium – the major building block of tooth enamel – is attracted to P11-4. Calcium begins to build up on the scaffolding in the micro-pores and the tooth literally rebuilds itself.
Now here’s the great part… This isn’t just a theory. The research team at Leeds has already tested P11-4 on humans. When they painted it on teeth showing early signs of decay, the “scaffolding” formed inside micro-pores and the people’s teeth literally reversed the effects of decay.
No needle… no drill… no pain. Even better, by avoiding a filling, you could be avoiding even more discomfort later on.
For one thing, plaque tends to build up along the edges of fillings. So this process may not only help repair existing damage… it may help prevent future damage, too.
Plus, teeth with fillings are weaker than healthy teeth. It’s not uncommon for cracks to form in filled teeth after several years. At that point, a crown or root canal may be necessary. That can mean a lot of discomfort. And an unwelcome expense. A crown can easily set you back $1,000 or more.
A Swiss company has already licensed the P11-4 process and plans to run larger trials. So, before long, you could be seeing a lot less of your dentist’s drill.

It will never fly in the U.S.! How will the Dentist’s make a living? The ADA would definitely poo poo it and drive it to the courts where it will linger for ever. Try reading, “MONEY BY THE MOUTHFUL” and get smart!
I used to have very sensitive teeth, especially the upper left molars. APPLES used to really get me. I stopped eating them, even applesauce. Then I started diluting a little bit, 1/4-1/2 a tsp. of Baking Soda, (not Baking Powder), in about a cup of water, and that is enough to NEUTRALIZE THE ACID IN THE FIRST PLACE CAUSING THE PROBLEM!!!!!! After about 9 months, I decided to try an apple and found that I could eat it. But Braeburn apples still get to me eventually, but Gala apples seem to be better. Maybe less acidic to begin with.
Anyway, my teeth don’t hurt. I haven’t had a cavity for awhile, and I have not dropped a filling either, when generally I drop one every 2-3 years. Acid gets between the dentin and the filling and creates an opening with loosens the filling. So I believe the Baking Soda really helps, and I use the cheapest brand at the store.
So there is something cheap you can do right now to save your teeth and yourself pain, effort, and money.
Be well and happy.

Please take the time to read about one of the greatest dentist of all time, Dr. Weston A. Price. He wrote “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration”. It is a book that will change your life. He travelled the world looking for people with perfect teeth and perfect health. He found both. He also found that changing ones diet can reverse cavities. The book is the answers to many of humanities questions about disease.
Very interesting, boomer12k, but what exactly do you do with the baking soda diluted in the water? Do you drink it or swish it around in your mouth?
Anonymous #1 – you are so right about Weston A. Price. Interestingly, in all the cultures he visited, they had a few things in common: none were vegetarian as they all ate some kind of animal parts/organs, they ate tons of fermented and cultured foods, they ate insects, they soaked/sprouted grains, and for those who eventually adopted a “western” diet, nutritional deficiencies, physical abnormalities, and dental diseases were seen within one generation. These folks got plenty of fat and fat soluble nutrients in their native diets (like D3 and K2, along with minerals), which he attributes to their health and longevity.
REFINED FOODS is BY FAR the biggest contributor to cavities BY FAR. As some of the folks here have already pointed out the work by Dr Price IS TRULY PRICELESS
