I'd want to eradicate cavities, but irradiating them would be cool too...
Interesting aside- There is always a "cure" for decay right around the corner. When I graduated 20 years ago, there was a cure for decay, that was going to solve it all. Another dental student commented "What to do if there was no decay?"
An instructor commented- "If they found a cure for decay tomorrow, there would be a lifetime of work for dentists... wisdom teeth, orthodontics, Congenitally missing teeth, traumatic injury, cracked teeth, oral pathology, periodontitis".. etc. etc.."
If I never filled another tooth in my life, I would be happier on a number of levels.
