Apparently, it really is a thing: https://techfixated.com/human-trials-begin-for-drug-that-could-let-adults-regrow-teeth-for-the-first-time/

Finally. I'm very much looking forward to this

Does that mean we can now get multiple rows like a shark?

If they don’t go the same way as implants

I have a tooth that simply decided to check out (I think they called it internal resorption)

My insurance only partly covered a bridge (a fake tooth glued to the others on each side) and said an implant was only for "aesthetics" and so wasn’t covered. So, according to them, the thing that looks like a real tooth, acts like a real tooth, get taken care of like a real tooth… the real "set it and forget it" solution….. was just for show!

I could totally see them argue that regrowing a tooth is just a luxury….. 🤦‍♂️

One more step towards humans becoming sharks, let's go for cancer resistance next

No fucking chance. I don't want teeth growing in my asshole or somewhere. You guys can be the guinea pigs first.

I always giggle when I see this treatment mentioned because the gene they block (I think that's how they explained it) is usag-1. Usagi in Japanese is rabbit, an animal known for their ever-growing teeth.

Sweet. I lost a few molars in sports accidents and gincidents, so I'd love this. Maybe not the tiny Deadpool arm style of tooth part.

Little known fact. Hockey players start out able to read. The longer they play the sport their abilities just degrade.

I already had supernumerary teeth, so if I took this, I feel like I’d be a super hero. A bad one, but one nonetheless.

I like how someone who is making fun of another's literacy, did so with poor grammar.

Big Dentistry will be hiring Agent 47 soon from the looks

When hair?..

What if something goes wrong and you just keep growing teeth? And you just have too many teeth. Then the teeth start growing in places where they shouldn't.

Do root canals or any other dentistry prevent this from working?
