I agree! A great thing would be chew toys for kids. Probably a nice business. I mean, the core of this is that teeth are strengthened by exercise (and fluoride). Huge benefits, and cheap in the long term. Always been a side business I have been intrigued by, but never saw a way that I brought enough to this particular table to start it.

These exist. Mostly for autism and anxiety after teething.

  Neat, why not get dentists to give to....everyone? It is a marketing problem, it seems like? I mean fluoridated chew toys for kids that strengthen teeth and reduce future orthodontics costs seems like a good one?

    Eh... must the toys contain fluoride? It's one thing to rinse and spit, but it's not as if consuming fluoride is free of side effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3956646/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3956646/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3491930/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3491930/

    No... none of this is validated. Also orthodontists have tools to fix your palate while you are growing.

  There's a budding new market for pacifiers with lights (for adults) that are used by ravers.[1] [1] https://www.quora.com/Why-do-they-use-pacifiers-at-raves https://www.quora.com/Why-do-they-use-pacifiers-at-raves

    Long term pacifier use actually causes teeth problems.
