Hello billionaires, how about becoming known by future generation as "the person who eradicated cavities"?

I’ve got my checkbook here but I am scared of being remembered as “the person who eradicated teeth”
Yeah that would probably get your name on a lot of high schools, if that's your thing.

On the other hand, it wouldn't eliminate oral hygiene, for both the obvious olfactory and comfort reasons, as well as gingivitis and other non-caries oral health issues.

It'd be funny if it accidentally eliminated Alzheimer's disease as a side effect though. ;)
