"Dental enamel has a unique structure, which gives enamel its remarkable properties that protect our teeth throughout life against physical, chemical, and thermal insults," said lead author Dr. Abshar Hasan

This man doesn't just disapprove of people mistreating their teeth, he is personally insulted by it. A true dentist.

I could never ever work in that field, it gives me the ick. So I appreciate people who can.

Also enamel is the hardest substance in your body; AFAIK chemically it is indeed interesting and hard (ha) to emulate with other bio-safe materials.

Simply line yourself with the teeth of your enemies (if they flossed regularly)
