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.
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….. 🤦♂️
Insurance company CEOs' limbs should be considered "aesthetics".
How much is it without insurance?
A bridge is about 3500$
An implant is about double that (6000-7000$)
With the insurance I only paid 800$, but I would have been 100% on the hook for the implant
Fuck, in Spain I paid 800 euros for an implant (without insurance). Insane.
Little known fact. Hockey players start out able to read. The longer they play the sport their abilities just degrade.
Apparently, it really is a thing: https://techfixated.com/human-trials-begin-for-drug-that-could-let-adults-regrow-teeth-for-the-first-time/
Interesting, but the article also feels llm-generated.
Definitely LLM... the "author" has 1624 posts since December 10, 2024. And all of the early ones are those stupid SEO-optimized "how to fix x" posts. (including one that's literally about how to fix X/twitter lol).
Pretty sure the photo would be. Teeth grow inside the gums....
Some pictures are meant to be demonstrative and intentionally inaccurate for said demonstration.
My assumption was that's what they were going for.

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.
And they call him... Overbite!™
Get your Overbite action figure today, with real teeth flinging action!
Finally. I'm very much looking forward to this
Same. I’m down to have all my teeth removed and let new ones grow in, to repair the gum-line corrosion from my early childhood that leaves me highly susceptible to cavities. I have more fillings than teeth at this point.
I would rather do a hollywood smile for all my teeth, just replace all that weak, natural mineral.
Replace it with glorious artificial matter! The flesh is weak, And so are it's products!

Phyrexian?
Me too! My wisdom teeth grew in sideways and fucked up all my teeth even cracking a few.
I like how someone who is making fun of another's literacy, did so with poor grammar.
Do root canals or any other dentistry prevent this from working?
No fucking chance. I don't want teeth growing in my asshole or somewhere. You guys can be the guinea pigs first.
You sure? Kinda solves the whole corn problem.
The corn problem is already solved by chewing the corn with the teeth you have - in your mouth.
Does that mean we can now get multiple rows like a shark?
See, that’s the sort of forward-thinking that I want from everyone.
You kid, but the reason we can regrow teeth like this is that we actually have the cells for a third row of teeth. Once these ones are gone, though, you don't have any more back-ups.
I had a friend that said they had those, I never saw it though. I bet there are people who do, or they were fucking with me.
Nah, my sister had real messed up teeth when she was young, and the dentist referred to it as "shark mouth". It wasn't multiple rows, but several of her teeth had an extra tooth right behind it, leading to her mouth being pretty cluttered until they extracted the extras. Not nearly as extreme as an actual shark, but still a lotta teeth if you were able to see 'em
One more step towards humans becoming sharks, let's go for cancer resistance next
Humans can become crab. Or how we say it in german: Menschen können Krebs bekommen.
Menschen können Krebs bekommen.
This translates to "People can get cancer"
I'm perplexed, if given systemically, does it just regrow missing teeth or try to a grow a 3rd tooth where there's already a functioning adult tooth in place?
