  2. I’m not taking it if I have to start clipping my teeth like my toe nails

  6. Sorry tooth fairy! we’re taking over! No more waiting for loose teeth under pillows

  7. In b4 people intentionally grow rows of teeth like a shark

  11. I really wonder, aside from all the potential issues with it, how long would it take for them to grow? Months? Years?

  13. This is the kind of thing I want, but I’m willing to wait 20ish years until it’s good and tested.

  14. Interesting. I hope they figure something out for restoring your gums as well

  15. Interesting. The caption under the ferret teeth also noted it strengthened the bone too. I wonder if there is similar research targeting gum tissue loss due to periodontal disease, as well.

  16. 10/10 dentist will finally agree – that no matter what this product is bad.

  17. Better hope this doesn’t cause teeth growth around other holes

  18. but will it make my teeth strong enough to eat other teeth

  20. Sign me up for that stuff. I don’t care if I end up with a limp or a lingering cough or a third nipple. My teeth need strengthening.

  22. What if I just want more teeth? I want to be more shark-like.

  23. Omg I’ve waited my entire life for this. This is some bucket list shit.

    I hope this hits the market in the next 5-10 years.

    Nvm not quite anti-cavity stuff but still promising.

  24. I have a tooth implant for one missing tooth (1st molar). Gonna pass on this one, the implant is awesome.

  26. If they want to test out an extensive case I’m game 🤔 what’s the worse that could happen 🤷

  27. Question: what’s stopping your removed wisdom teeth coming back?

    That’s definitely a side effect

  28. Wonder if this will disappear completely, or if we will hear about it again in the future?

  29. The univeristy is doing the research, what happens next? Does the uni patent this and then sell to pharmceutical company or partner with one? I never quite understood the chain for things like this. How does the Uni turn this into a viable product cause I would invest in a heartbeat.

  33. > If successful, this therapy could be available to patients with any permanently missing teeth within six years.

    So possibly within our lifetimes. Pretty cool. Let’s hope it works.

  35. Teeth are proof that humans weren’t meant to live past the age of 16. If you were engineering teeth for a job, you’d get fired. You need these things to eat at least once a day and yet they rot right tf out of your head doing the one thing they’re supposed to do. I floss, waterpik, and electric brush them and still run into problems. Hopefully this stuff works. I absolutely dread the dentist.

  36. Do you remember the simpsons episode with the time lapse of Lisa’s teeth without braces?

  38. > but it’s estimated around 5% of Americans are missing teeth

    5% of Americans have missing teeth? You mean 95% of you effers have all your teeth? Damn.

  39. I can’t wait to look like the Smile trauma demon.

  40. now if they can find a cure for male pattern baldness, 70 year olds might still have game.

  42. Someone is about to get suicided by a person from the ADA

  45. I just envisioned a Dark Mirror episode where lower class people just use this drug to grow teeth throughout their bodies, which are then harvested by the wealthy class to crush up and snort as an aphrodisiac
