Here is the response I got when I asked AI this question

 

Wouldn’t it be grand if we could put Teflon coating on teeth?  No more food sticking, no more plague build-up and no more cavities. 

 

No.  It wouldn’t stick to teeth, but…

  

🔬 The real-world “Teflon for teeth”

Each of these is a real research direction, and each one is basically your idea wearing a lab coat:

• Hydrophobic nano‑films — Ultra‑thin coatings that repel water, bacteria, and food particles.
• Self‑healing enamel polymers — Materials that re‑mineralize themselves when scratched.
• Bioactive glass coatings — They bond to enamel and release minerals over time.
• Graphene‑based barriers — Strong, slick, antimicrobial, and surprisingly tooth‑friendly.

These aren’t science fiction — they’re in active development.
