That's cool if it works as it should. Dentures could be a thing of the past and something like this could be part of your oral treatment.

In the future if you get a cavity, just have the tooth pulled and grow another one.

This (if it works and doesn’t have horrible side effects) is great!

Sorry, but I don’t trust any such drug to regrow teeth. I mean, what happens if the tooth grows anywhere else but where it’s supposed to? What a nightmare scenario!

Patients grow teeth just fine. Why the complaints?

Maybe they also tend to grow a tail or two, but what the hey?

The Tooth Fairy Union will file an injunction against the use of this procedure. If these trials are successful, the TFU would go bankrupt.

How would the brain tell the body WHICH TOOTH needs to be replaced?

It could also mean no more need for toothbrushes or toothpaste or dental cleanings. Just let your mouth go to heck, and go in for new teeth.

The dental industry could get by with a lot fewer dentists, and Colgate and Crest would go out of business. So, before any of that happens, the dental industry will make sure that the new-teeth industry dies before it gets started. Sorry to be a killjoy. ;)

Imagine what would happen to the medical industry if a cure was found for cancer, or all cancers. Millions of people would be out of jobs and many clinics and hospitals would cease to exist or get downsized. Same kind of demise as the dental industry with the new teeth growing treatments.

Whoa there nelly... Think to yourself... What could possibly go wrong?
