What should i be thinking about this?
Should be thinking fuck yes it’s about time, shark me up baybeeee
Too bad it only grows teeth on genitals
Teeth are stored in the balls.
Octopussoi vs Sharkboner?
The sequel to Sharkboy and Lavagirl we didn’t need.
Idk, that sounds better than the actual sequel to Shark boy and Lava girl was.
Would probably still be viable for transplant?
Is this gonna cost 10 grand?
Only for Americans
Oof ow I felt that in my cheeseburger flap.
In the US, that would be a bargain.
If you only needed 1-2 teeth it’s comparable, but if you need more than that, 10 grand is a pretty good price domestically.
I guess it just depends if you have all your teeth or not.
I have one that’s gonna fall out soon.
This probably isn’t going to be available to you then, though it is possible it paves the way for a tooth-replacement treatment. This article seems like bad science communication. The video, tweet, and website they link to all state that they’re researching congenital conditions, the inquiry form linked to on the website explicitly states in English they’re not considering people who lost their teeth later in life and specifically calls out articles like this one as misinformation.
We are currently receiving a large number of inquiries that differ from the purpose of this research, which is very troubling.
This research is a study of therapeutic drugs for people who are missing teeth due to congenital (from birth) diseases (diseases, etc.).
This research is not aimed at restoring teeth to people who have lost their teeth due to acquired causes, as some news and social networking sites have reported.Additionally, we are not currently recruiting candidates for clinical trials (adult males).Which isn’t too unexpected. Having it as an IV treatment would mean it’s not targeted. I don’t understand how something like that could replace individual teeth that were damaged, and not just didn’t grow because of a lack of something in the body.
If I had to guess (not being a toothologist), I’d think there would have to be some sort of injection, or implant, to trigger an individual tooth replacement.
Thanks for going deeper. Any chance you could answer why? Why is it’s use limited?
It’s well outside my field so I’m definitely not qualified to answer that, but the trials seem to be building on this study so that might give more insight.
Came here to look for this comment - bad science communication is the reigning supreme it would seem these days

I read “tooth-removing drug” and was kinda surprised by the enthusiasm in this thread.
No, we already have meth.
It seems like only missing teeth will regrow (at least in the tested animals), however, that should include both wisdom teeth or otherwise intentionally missing ones.
Apply directly to the forehead
How about the vagina?
“VAGINA DENTATA!”
Mmmmm, toothy vag
Watch this drug be banned because dentists throw a fit
Tooth zombie outbreak incoming
