How will I threaten my child to brush their teeth now?
Well now you can pull one out whenever it starts getting yellow and regrow it. It won’t take many for him to start brushing.
Jesus. 😱 How long do you think it takes to regrow a child?
At least 9 months. Trying to speed this up might make it slower, but it won’t make it happen any quicker.
Is that what happened to Musk, Trump, Putin, etc.? They got decanted from the tubes too soon? I mean, that makes sense, but why not just let it wither on the vine at that point? Shareholder pressure? Curious.
Okay, but grow teeth WHERE?
Vagina
I’m a human! Pick me!
I have been looking forward to this for 2 decades.
Every dentist I’ve ever been to has told me that they didn’t know when research would be progressing on actual regrowth.
Finally, we’re in the maybe soon stage.
Hope the trials go well.
as early as 2030
You might still have another decade waiting.
5 and a half years beat 20, and I am patient. And hopefully a patient.
I’m right there with you. After several root canals and a couple of extractions, all of that before 40… I could use some new chompers.
Right now, it’s only a matter of time until I need man-made mouth bones, this would be vastly preferable.
My whole family is rife with robot chompers, I am ready to cultivate some dentin.
May the winds of fortune be with us and behind the sails of dental innovation.
This shit better be affordable and covered by health insurance.
Narrator: “It won’t be.”
Heh. You lookin’ to buy a bridge, too? I got a couple nice ones on clearance. C’mere a sec.
Teeth (2007) : “soon…”
A step closer on my childhood dream of becoming a street shark!
Trials are set to include only adult males at first, then children at later rounds. That’s not ideal.
I’m super pumped about the prospect of regrowing teeth though!
Often times people assigned female at birth are excluded from these kinds of medical trials because the female cycle can affect the measurements so much, which can distort the outcome. Still sucks but there’s at least medical dispensation to discriminate.
Source: I was excluded from some paid medical test on some grounds and I had a conversation about reasons for exclusions with the people that were rejecting my application :-)
Yep, and then doctors and researchers go all surprised Pikachu face when it turns out that eg. some pain medication doesn’t work as well on women, but naturally this conclusion is only arrived at after decades of insisting that they should work and that you’re just being an irrational hysterical feeeeemale if you say they don’t
