Regrow Teeth? Will lIt Be Possible?

[Tony Page]

There was an email I received about regrowing teeth. I deleted it before I got a chance to read it. I think it's a great idea if it can be done. Below is a cut and paste of an internet article about it.


Promising Research

Antibody Drug (Japan): A drug targeting the USAG-1 gene, which limits tooth growth, has shown success in animals and is in human trials, potentially offering a third set of teeth by 2030.

Stem Cell Therapy: Using stem cells within the jaw to stimulate new tooth growth shows promise in animal studies, with potential for even regenerating pulp and dentin.

What's Next?

Researchers are working to translate these animal and early human successes into safe, widely available treatments.

These future therapies aim to harness the body's healing potential for more natural tooth regeneration, reducing the need for artificial replacements.

I think @Mary Stetler is our resident herbalist.

Comfrey does help with healing, and one of the names is called bone knit, but I don’t know that it would help teeth to grow back. You have to make a poultice from the mashed roots, and that would not be good to use in your mouth.

Tony at my age not sure I'd want to wait, time won't let me, another song.
I'm sure we have some optimist here though that can't wait to try it.
Also it would be great for younger ones.
