People with missing teeth may be able to grow new ones, say Japanese dentists testing a pioneering drug they hope will offer an alternative to dentures and implants.

    Sweet.

    Been waiting 20 years for this.

    I congenitally lack 4 teeth. For those teeth, the milk baby teeth never fell out. I ripped one out at 15, and the dentist took the last when I was 18.

    Amazing if sometime I’ll just be able to take a pill an regrowth them. Painful prolly tho.

    Edit whops expressions and languages

        Oh yeah that’s the English term. My bad. Yeah the first set of teeth, the non-permanent one, is known as “maitohampaat” ie milk teeth in Finnish.
