Amen! I'll be a guinea pig for this experiment.
I call teeth God's failure. Maybe man has found a cure?

The question remains, how much does this cost? Dentures might still be the more viable alternative for people who can count the amount of money they have.

Dentists will probably make a bundle on this. First off, it probably won't be in balance with the rest of your mouth. This is assuming, of course, you are older and have had crowns etc.
It will not be cheap!

There have been cases where a third set of teeth grew in old age. Teeth should be doing that naturally. Sharks do it, why not humans?

"The key is healthy gums and bone."
So while business will be booming. . .there will still be some patients out there wanting 'their plastic'.
And of course, some will not want to wait for those teeth to grow. . .:^#
I am just searching for 'balance' here.

Wasn't the toothbrush and toothpaste invented in England? Else they'd have been called teethbrush and teethpaste...

The average Briton over 50 has lost 12 teeth from a set of 32. Pardon my asking, but don't these people know how to brush their teeth?

I wonder if it would be possible to grow replacements for capped teeth? I shattered my upper incisors when I was ten, and have had two sets of "permanent" caps installed over the years. I would love to have real teeth that don't have to be replace every couple of decades.

My luck, they would screw it up and I would grow a finger... Think of how much easier it would be to scoop up peas.

But a ticket to 'China' by then, may be. . .but yikes; just thought of those 'volunteers' in China who would be their first patients. . .
This may take a little pressure off kids playing 'contact' sports, however;^#
'tooth plastics'; down!. . .Sports equipment - UP!

Nope. Actually, the "toothbrush" was invented in China c.1497. The Chinese language makes no distinction between singular and plural; hence, "tooth" translates to the exact same Chinese word as "teeth."
