The whole field of regenerative medicine has huge promise. I don’t expect it overnight, but cracking the code that will enable people to regrow healthy organs or limbs or nerve tissue will eventually work miracles for all sorts of injuries and ailments.

What is not necessarily true?

That making sure a child is fed properly results in better teeth?

Or that growing a new set would require you to supplement your diet with various vitamins to keep the process from depleting your adult body?

Because both of those things are kind of self evident.

I am not sure what you are trying to argue here.

[... still have a baby tooth...]

I know a family that has several members that never grew adult teeth. The baby teeth are fine, just are small and never fell out. Dentist told them it was a very rare genetic issue.

This past week I just finished a complete dental restoration. It was 3+ years in the making with orthodontics and restorative dental work. While I have that hollywood smile now, I often wondered what it would be like pulling the teeth and regenerating them instead. Imagine no more ortho work and things like implants or crowns being things of the “ancient” past.

That is the goal but imagine teething pains for six months in your fifties. :)

So you take this medicine.

And it processes throughout your system.

And some collects at your ‘exit port’.

Will you grow some teeth there?

Not arguing anything.
There are some instances
where nutrishinal
supplements will not have an
effect on guaranteeing a
healthy set of choppers.
