Is this a commercial product that has been approved by a regulator to make these claims? Amazing. Newsworthy.
Is this a press release from a university research group, as it appears to be (the site is down)? Then it's nearly meaningless.

- basch 11mo agoYou can buy the supplies and make nano silver flouride now, relatively cheaply compared to dental work. If you have a non corporate dentist, you could even ask them to apply it. The basic mechanism has been used on teeth forever, and adding the nano particles prevents the chemical from permanently staining your teeth black or blue (which is why it hasnt ever been more popular to begin with.) https://fourthievesvinegar.org/tooth-seal/ https://fourthievesvinegar.org/tooth-seal/
- casperc 11mo agoAny reports from actual users of this?
- MrResearcher 11mo agoNo sir, but you have the honor of being the first!
- KumaBear 11mo agoHard pass. I’ll let the moms of Facebook groups be the test subjects. Once clear results are in we can make an assessment of how well it works
- xnzakg 11mo agoAlso interested in this, but haven't tried it myself. Apparently NSF (Nano Silver Fluoride) is more commonly in non-western countries. They have a video with some more info here: https://pt.fourthievesvinegar.org/w/9aa66b49-2ec5-497f-9f49-115e36549511 https://pt.fourthievesvinegar.org/w/9aa66b49-2ec5-497f-9f49-... And apparently the use of NSF does have a bunch of research papers written about it: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Amol-Patil-43/publication/379188980_Nano-Silver_Fluoride_in_Preventive_Dentistry_A_Literature_Review/links/65fe7016d3a085514243b25e/Nano-Silver-Fluoride-in-Preventive-Dentistry-A-Literature-Review.pdf https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Amol-Patil-43/publicati...

- tootie 11mo agoI found other sites indicating it's entering trials soon to be on the market next year. That's still a bit speculative obviously, but it sounds more promising that just being a working theory.
- sumo89 11mo agoHuh? If this was an article from a commercial entity selling a product we'd be calling it a marketing puff piece and asking for the science.
- avalys 11mo agoIf it a commercial product marketed as "homeopathic" or various nonsense loopholes that the government has been bullied into leaving open, then sure. But an actual medical product for sale to consumers that makes claims like "restores dental enamel" would have to present scientific evidence to the FDA that this claim is accurate.
