      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.

        It’s almost as bad being married to someone that works in that field.

        My wife is a dental hygienist. Some of the horrific shit she sends me would turn your stomach. And then the experiences she’s had working on teeth… Just so so gross. 🤮🤮
