I wonder what it would do for those of us who have had dental implants.
I had a tooth removed and replaced with a socket bone grafted into my skull to which a crown is bolted. If I were to lose another tooth, what would happen if I took this drug?
A tooth would grow a baby tooth. Fractal teeth.
Plop!
I think that would be the last of very many relevant sounds. Many others would be screams.
That's really cool and exciting. But guys, I need to regrow my gums. I have a perfectly good tooth that a dentist is considering removing because the gum lose around it is profound.
Probably be prohibitively expensive for anyone to do it as an elective procedure.
I've seen enough dystopian horror thrillers to know this won't go the right way
If we regrow teeth, we can regrow bone, muscle, and nerves. Almost immediately, that technology will be privatized and only the rich will be able to afford it.
Capitalism will say "Fuck you poors".
Which country are you talking about? Most countries provide healthcare to poor people for free
Imagine getting new teeth but all of them are wisdom teeth.
Evolving to eat only salad
finally
vegan eugenics
New dentally enforced diet.
