It would be really incredible if they can manage to make this an OTC offering. This is huge.

After reading that article, this feels like something that I would want a trained professional to oversee.

Maybe similar to fluoride, there can be a low-concentration version OTC, with the strong professional version only being available directly.

I kind of wanted to make a Tiktok series that was how many days of brushing my teeth with nano hydroxyapatite calcium powder will it take until they are two solid Uni teeth like a cartoon?

Because if it's really the same thing as what teeth are made of, how does it know where the end of the enamel is? Shouldn't your teeth keep adding mass?
