Aspirin could cure tooth decay without additional dental treatment, new research claims.

The most common aspirin could encourage self-repair of teeth, according to new research.

A drug that is available to everyone helps tooth structure damaged by tooth decay to begin the self-healing process, according to research from the University of Belfast.

"There is great potential to change the approach to one of the biggest dental challenges today. The results showed that aspirin consumption promotes self-healing of teeth. This kind of treatment can not only extend the life of teeth, but also encourage huge savings in dentistry," says Dr. El Karim.

Research shows that low doses of aspirin "significantly increase" the reparation of minerals that provide strength and function to teeth. Also, aspirin stimulates the stem cells of the tooth to regenerate its structure, reports B92.
