Teeth has got to be one of the most disrespected and undervalued parts of your body. Your body's other bones can heal but then it's like "fuck your teeth, I'm not doing shit about them". And then we got health insurance companies who have the gall to not consider teeth an important part of your body that should be covered, got to get it separately and the costs are fundamental.

I mean, you smile with these things and they are key responsible for how you digest food, by chewing on it before swallowing. You can't just swallow whole pieces of food without risk of choking on them at somepoint.

You can pretty much die from bad teeth, like rot and cavities. It is just a matter of when.

Been hearing this claim for 20 years. Let me know where and when I can sign up for the trails.

Swear articles like this get pushed every few years. Let me know when it's a reality I can get at my local dentist.

I’ve been hearing about re-growing teeth for 20 years. Still nothing. It’s right up there with nuclear fusion.

[...] will administer the treatment to patients between the ages of 2 to 7 who are missing at least four teeth

Yeah, even if this is approved in some form.. growing new teeth for young children is not the same as for adults. Very weird this is the population they're testing on. I'd think they would be testing on people with 10+ missing teeth in their 40s, 50s, 60s+

[...]these treatments are currently focused on patients with congenital tooth deficiency

Again, not for us.

i keep seein this story with zero details on application efficacy.. and now i see a thing where theyre giving the drug intravenously??

how do they know it will grow a tooth in a human being and how does it target a lost tooth if not administered directly?

Popular mechanics is a terrible source. They post click bait trash like this on a consistent basis.

No they won't.

This is the same as "humans may live on a mara colony in 10 years!"

No they won't, not even close.

This article is bullshit and so is the entire site, it's all djinn economy, all wishes and fantasy with a clickbait header to make sure you go there to watch the ads to make them money.

That's it. Not gonna brush my teeth anymore. Just gonna grow new ones. Maybe sell them. Grow more. Smile big.

Okay but... what kinna teeth we talkin..? Any teeth?

I'd kill for some sharper canines lol

That's a long time to grow a tooth. Can they do anything to speed that up? I'd like a new set of chompers by next week.

Correction: rich humans

Popular Mechanics wrote an article saying exactly this same thing like 10 years ago.

Nah. Because

Sweet dreams.

Nothing new in this article, it's just rehashing stuff that's already been announced and talked about since last year.

Rich humans. Us peasants won't be able to.

Not a dentist, but isnt the root cause of a lot of our dental problems, the loss of gums and the inability of our stupid gums to heal and grow back?

Can they make it stop too? Not taking any chances on this.

Bruh I'm gonna grow so many teeth. I wonder if we'll be able to get crocodile teeth.

Like can I get just one crocodile tooth that hangs over my lip?

My mom lied to me

But will I be able to schedule a dentist appointment in four years?
