As a child I had a faulty set of milk teeth -they were very weak and I needed to be very careful in cleaning and even then had a lot of work needed on them. My adult teeth are quite a bit better but I'm now getting to an age where one or two are a bit concerning so a news item like this may be good news.
As always, though, the issue will be of availablility. The people who perhaps may most need this [because of ill-education and poverty giving rise to a poor diet as well as an immediate cultural milieu somewhat unsympathetic to such health concerns] may be most exluded -especially when you relaise how hard it is to find and enroll with a NHS dentist [when we move it may be that we try to stay registered with the one we've got even if it means a two-hour train journey either way ...].
Note "The cost should not be more than the price of synthetic implants of between £1,500 - £2,000." -but that is out of my pocket already. Like Homer Simpson I can hear the words in my head, "Dental Plan".
