‘No-drill’ techniques can treat tooth decay just as well, study finds
What I never understood is why in these days we are not able to have a product that would be spread on the teeth (let&#x27;s say a yearly application) to protect them from most of the major aggressions.<p>Each time I had a tooth &quot;cured&quot; (i.e. drilled), this &quot;cure&quot; weakened the structure of the tooth so much that it broke with a period of 6 to 24 months. And once the inside was removed with drilling and the outside has broken, what&#x27;s left? Nothing: goodbye tooth, hello hole.<p>I am pretty sure that they would have lasted longer if they had not been cured (supposing I could stand the occasional pain, but in half of the cases, pain was not even about to start, a tiny decay was just detected by visual inspection). But now, I have to plan to start eating more soup soon.
