Scientists might have just changed the future of dental care… using your own hair 😳🦷 Researchers at King’s College London found that keratin — the protein found in hair, skin and wool — can help repair damaged enamel and even stop early tooth decay.
When keratin comes into contact with minerals in saliva, it forms a protective, enamel-like coating that strengthens teeth over time. Even better, it’s eco-friendly, sustainably sourced from biological waste, and could replace the plastic resins used in current dental treatments.
Experts say this breakthrough could mark the start of a new era where our bodies’ own materials help restore healthy, stronger smiles. Imagine fixing your teeth with something as simple as… a haircut 😅✂️
