    Would be amazing if, after getting a cavity, you just have the tooth pulled and grow a new one.

        Third? I want annual teeth. Like every winter my teeth all fall out and a new set grows in.

          What you really want is for us to figure out how to stop cavities forming in the first place. Also, annually sounds incredibly unpleasant! Maybe once every decade?

          I have a weird nostalgia for the whole process of losing a tooth. The relief when you finally get it out and then the awesome feeling of running your tongue over the hole. Lol

    That’s super exciting! Imagine saying goodbye to fake teeth and actually growing new, natural ones. It’s like something out of a sci-fi movie. I read that this could help millions who suffer from dental issues, especially those who’ve lost teeth due to injury or disease. Just think about the implications for overall health, too. Healthy teeth are linked to so many aspects of our well-being. Japan’s really leading the charge on this one! I can’t wait to see how the trials go and what this could mean for the future of dental care.
