Keeping acidic things on your teeth pulls out the flouride making them brittle over time. The flouride added to all kinds of stuff is meant to help with that but the effectiveness is questionable. Better to simply not keep acidic stuff in your mouth too long, and to clean your teeth with your tongue after or swish some water.
doesnt work on the biting surfaces, need to invest an electric or sonic tooth brush for that. and regular cleanings from the dentists. also discourage the usage of whitening toothpaste.
regular cleanings and probably mouthwash once in a while, and i use stannous flouride which is better than the regular kind.
nHAP is allegedly used by the flouride free crowd without a significant efficacy since there is more than one company making nHAP, i noticed most of them are obsessed with stuffing it with abrasives, so be wary.
I'm not a fan of insurance companies, but the dental/medical insurance split makes sense. Insurance is fundamentally a risk hedging game. It matters what the risks are. Most medical conditions will only happen to a small percentage of people, so we can all put money into a pool and pay out to the unlucky people who, for example, get cancer. Almost everyone needs some dental work eventually, everyone's teeth wear down. Dental insurance is more like a savings plan than a gamble on rare outcomes. It doesn't make sense to pool those risks together.
Not only does it need to become possible, it needs to become more effective than other treatments like crowns and implants. I think it’s going to be a long time, and even then will only be applicable in limited cases for a long time, and will be really expensive.
It's the same study that's been in process for about a decade. It entered human trials last year with those trials expected to take 5 years. Growing teeth is slow. It's not really being pushed, it's just the same reliable hit for various news sites to break out on slow news days.
Not just cold fusion. We are still working on creating hot fusion reactions that are controlled. That honestly makes sense. It's kinda weird that we were able to theorize the uncontrolled reaction of fission, and then used that to create a mostly kinda stable controlled fission reactor.
[...] will administer the treatment to patients between the ages of 2 to 7 who are missing at least four teeth
Yeah, even if this is approved in some form.. growing new teeth for young children is not the same as for adults. Very weird this is the population they're testing on. I'd think they would be testing on people with 10+ missing teeth in their 40s, 50s, 60s+
[...]these treatments are currently focused on patients with congenital tooth deficiency
You skipped right past the paragraph before that one describing the adult study that needs to succeed prior to the start of the child study.
Now, scientists will see just how similar, because humans are undergoing a similar trial. Lasting 11 months, this study focuses on 30 males between the ages of 30 and 64—each missing at least one tooth. The drug will be administered intravenously to prove its effectiveness and safety, and luckily, no side effects have been reported in previous animal studies.
I've seen one of these talked about before, and the mechanism seemed to be in that one that there's a gene in our DNA that triggers us to grow new teeth (that's how we replace our baby teeth with adult teeth), but that that gene turns off after we grow in our set of adult teeth. It's apparently the same gene that allows sharks to grow new teeth. What the drug does is it turns that gene back on, allowing us to grow new teeth to replace lost ones.
This might not be the same study though, as I've also seen one previously years ago that was about a drug that turned on a gene in our teeth to allow them to repair the enamel in them and fill in cavities by putting biodegradable gauze soaked in the drug inside a cavity and letting the tooth do the rest.
This is the same as "humans may live on a mara colony in 10 years!"
No they won't, not even close.
This article is bullshit and so is the entire site, it's all djinn economy, all wishes and fantasy with a clickbait header to make sure you go there to watch the ads to make them money.
This is my main concern. I will believe they can regrow lost teeth, but can they regrow them in the correct shape and location? Teeth can take some weird shapes. We've got millions of years of evolution tweaking exactly where and how they grow, and it still goes wrong sometimes. I suspect messing with that process can lead to Cronenbergian results.
I’ve had gum grafts, and they’ve had no difficulty healing and growing back. I’ve also had extra teeth removed and the gums have had no difficulty filling in the gaps. So if all else fails, pull the old tooth, plant the new seed tooth, let the gum heal and then rupture as the new tooth grows out. Should have a nice healthy gum edge again. Although teething as an adult sounds… uncomfortable.
gum disease, and CARIES, some people are more susceptible to caries than others. anyone with dry mouth will have increased amount of plaque, cavaties. my old dentist said people on chemo have the worst dental health, because of they dry mouth from chemo. other people, such as prognathism,.
Gum disease could lead to tooth loss but the primary way people lose them is through infections due to cavities. The infection weakens the tooth and the jawbone it's rooted in as well as can lead to loss of the root nerve. At a certain point the tooth is too loose or weak and has to be removed to prevent further infection and/or to treat the existing infection.
I've been loosely following this company's progress for a bit. It doesn't say so in this article, but I think I recall reading that the drug also promotes gum regrowth at the same time.
I was psyched until I learned it would be a biologic. Those are so bloody expensive and there isn't enough research ruling out potential interactions between multiple biologics to convince my doc to freely prescribe me a second one.
If this were to become commercially viable, dentists would move heaven and earth to stop it. Imagine killing 80% of a field with a simple commonplace product.
Doubt it. This is not the type of treatment that is just over the counter. Tooth regrowth would have to be administered and monitored by somebody like an orthodontist. More likely some will just become specialized in it.
People who don't have any teeth don't need a dentist, regrown teeth will still get painful cavities or other damage and need fillings or crowns, regrown teeth will probably come in exactly as crooked as your originals and require braces, there's plenty of room for dentists in a world without permanent tooth loss
Are you kidding? Most dentists would love that treatment. You get to improve your patients' dental health, you give them a smile they can be proud of, and you would be the ones administering the treatment.
This will more likely be an upcharge service for cavity fillings and to replace implants and shit.

A tooth infection can easily spread to your brain and kill you. It's a very short path.
But even if your teeth are just regular bad, that affects how you can eat, and eating is kind of important to living.
