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”.
Implants are (to me) some lovectaftian horror shit. I’m missing a tooth between my incisor and my front teeth, and after reading about the implant procedure decided I’m fine being mistaken for a hockey player. Looks kinda tough
Had my 2 front ones done, full posts into my skull. Had to actually get them redone semi recently actually, just the teeth not the posts. I can tell you that while it is intimidating, I’m pretty happy with the results. Then again 2 front teeth is a pretty big difference. The cost was also fairly huge as well.
Dental insurance is a scam
1000 bucks a year take it or leave it. We don’t cover anything more then 50% and 80% if we are feeling kind.
The avg cost of any procedure is like 7264859262 dollars. So you need at least 5 dental plans to cover even half of anything!
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
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.

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 was lucky enough that my wisdoms were pretty much full size by 17, and demanded all 4 get removed before they could cause issues with other teeth/my gums - tops grew in impacted (fully grown, but 90% below the gum line), bottoms were sideways and gearing up to wreck my other teeth if they stayed.
I got mine removed even though only one was coming in partially sideways, and I had an extra one, a little baby fifth wisdom tooth. It’s not all that uncommon I guess.
I simply chose to not have wisdom teeth.
I kept all of mine; more teeth for me.
I tagged you 😇
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!™

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
I had a couple of extras. Most were no big deal, but I had to have one extracted because it was blocking my adult tooth from coming in.
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.
it’s a myth sharks don’t get cancer.
Whales get cancer, then their cancer gets cancer, and dies from cancer. Literally too big to fail.
So that’s why US-Americans are so fat, they really are smarter than the rest of us, like they have always been saying. They are trying to mimic whales so that they can make sure they never get cancer and don’t have to pay a billion in medical costs. Truly 3D-chess they are playing.
Would be interested to know about this. As to the previous commenter, I saw stuff about greenlandic sharks that live to be like 600 years old or more, but they are covered with like parasite growths and stuff. But the cold is a preservative things live longer in the cold if they don’t freeze.

I didnt say that, I said “resistance”
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.
Oh come now, you will only have teeth growing out of your asshole if you have a certain type of tumor on your asshole, that does sometimes grow teeth and I think hair, it’s weird.
Yeeah, honestly this sounds like the premise of a peculiar body-horror game.(pls mention me if it ever really happens)
I like how someone who is making fun of another’s literacy, did so with poor grammar.
You don’t need that comma, bro.
What I’ve noticed is that most poor comma placement is because people forgot the leading one; “I like how someone , who is making fun of another’s literacy, did so with poor grammar.”
It’s astoundingly common, including (especially) amongst publications.
I’m not sure I buy that. It’s not exactly a non-restrictive phrase in this case because the sentence “I like how someone did so with poor grammar.” does not seem like the original intent. You can shoehorn that argument I suppose, but it certainly just looks more like an errant comma.
If I were to guess, I think OP thought they had an adverbial phrase (I think that’s the right term) that needed to be set apart with a comma, but, in actual fact, it both was not and did not.
(granted, you did mention that you could shoehorn this but) I don’t think a fragment of any sentence needs to have the sentence make sense if you remove the fragment; we jam fragments that are required to understand a sentence into all sorts of locations of sentences, all the time.
The honest answer is that we don’t really have any hard rules about comma usage (as you point out, the sentence would work just as well without any commas), broadly, so people kind of just go vibes-based, most of the time.
I feel like “did so with poor grammar” very obviously doesn’t feel like a tack on to a sentence (like, starting with a verb wouldn’t make sense) so I’m inclined to disagree but I’m anal about comma placement so maybe the average person would.
Sweet. I lost a few molars in sports accidents and gincidents, so I’d love this. Maybe not the tiny Deadpool arm style of tooth part.
From what I can see, it effectively simulates the same thing that happens as a child, aka you lose you existing teeth for the new set, which means there’s always the risk they won’t come in properly, in the right angle… Sounds like a massive headache to replace a tooth of two.
Was gincidents a typo, or were they gin-related incidents?
The latter. My wife coined it when she broke her wrist when stumbling after a few gins.
I’m sure I have had a few gincidents but thankfully none came with receipts.
Do root canals or any other dentistry prevent this from working?
When hair?..
You want hair in your mouth? /s

Really, do you have a link for that, or I can look for myself I guess. There is a link between male pattern baldness and androgen which is a male hormone, all the hormones are interconnected with each other on feedback loops, so it’s not entirely out of reason to think estrogen could prevent it or whatever.
That said, baldness is hereditary, and it is passed from your mother’s father, as I was taught in school, and it has checked out everywhere I have looked into it.
It’s DHT. Estrogen does prevent male pattern baldness and slightly reverses it, it’s a known thing for trans women. If you don’t think having your own pair of tits sounds rad as hell though you could just take finestride which is a dht blocker. Fair warning idk if dht does anything most men want, consult your doctor or at least search side effects if you’re more the “buy hormone blockers off the internet” type
Don’t forget if your in America the loss of rights, the hate, and possible threat of physical violence if you have your own pair of tits.
America hates tit havers for some stupid reason. Very odd.
I myself have reversed some male pattern baldness, so I know it’s anecdotal, but it can be reversed somewhat. It’s mostly because my testosterone is suppressed by Spironolactone which is an anti-androgen rather than because I have estrogen in my body though.
Finasteride targets that specific hormone though without affecting the rest of your testosterone as much though. If I were to recommend anything to you, finasteride is probably the way to go unless you want to be a girl, in which case I will never stop you. Hims is a good place to go for Finasteride
Estrogen does have milder antiandrogenic effects though. Some trans people can go on only estrogen and keep the testosterone away
I haven’t found anything official (research).
It might even be some different drugs, I don’t know what everything is part of HRT, but I’ve seen quite a few pictures of MtF people regrowing hair after like 1-2 years.
I wonder which grows first, the hair or the boobs.
Boobs
Big Dentistry will be hiring Agent 47 soon from the looks
Nah the dentists like it but the denture people don’t
What if something goes wrong and you just keep growing teeth? And you just have too many teeth. Then the teeth start growing in places where they shouldn’t.
Everyone needs to read the article. We all have the ability to grow a third set of teeth. This drug takes away what’s suppressing that third set. I’m not saying it’s safe, but what you’re worried about isn’t the issue.
the issue is whether the new teeth will have proper enamel , or be soft and decay prone like wisdom teeth.
Wait, is that a thing? I have all my wisdom teeth and I think most of them have fillings and awful dentin visible.
Some people’s wisdom teeth have weak enamel, some are like normal teeth.
Vagina Dentata might become a real thing after all.
Tooth armour! Try punching me now, Ryan from year 8!
