Gold for sensitive teeth

Each person with sensitive teeth knows the agonies to which it binds. Even a sip of a cold or hot drink can cause a very unpleasant feeling. Scientists in Taiwan intend to treat sensitive teeth with ... gold.

Tooth sensitivity is caused by microscopic damage to the enamel. Through these tiny cracks external stimuli reach the innervation of the tooth, causing pain.

Nanotechnologists in Taiwan decided to seal them with gold. To do this, they use the precious metal particles with diameter of only 30 nanometers (a nanometer is a billionth of a meter). Gold particles fill the slits in the enamel and the tooth again loses contact with the external environment.

Gold seals are captured using laser light. According to Taiwan scientists, the development of their method is already in a very advanced stage. In a year or two it will be possible to check the effectiveness of gold seals on  teeth on live patients.

Though in Poland, we don’t use gold to fix teeth yet, dentistry in Poland is very advanced. You will receive the best dental treatment in Poland.
