Could This New Drug Replace Dentures for Tooth Growth?
In the News
A Japanese company in 2018 trialed a new drug on Ferrets and demonstrated it's efficacy in growing new teeth.It hasn't been tested on humans yet but plans are to use it on children who cannot grow adult teeth.Beats dentures anyday but how is it ordered? What if a person grew loads of teeth or worse yet a few really big ones? I'm interested but confused.

It sounds ideal as a way to fill gaps where teeth have been lost but personally I would prefer that I wasn't the guinea pig! I would have a lot more confidence if it had been around for 50 years or so and very well tested (on other people). I won't be around that long 
so I will have to put up with any gaps that I may or may not get. 
tumblespots My thoughts as well but I was a little too taken with toffees in my youth and am paying the price now lol.
MelissaLee1 Too many sweets for me in my youth too. I have a couple of gaps but only one that you can (only just) see. The state of dentistry in this country doesn't help either!
I was so vain about my teeth when l was younger and wanted white/porcelain fillings, my dentist being money oriented swapped all my almagam fillings, myself being naive didn't know they were porous so now over the years l have crowns galore hence my own teeth are little stumps underneath... if l could turn back time l would quote Pam Ayers poem...Oh l wished l looked after my teeth 
. Do the new growing teeth stop growing when they reach a certain length??.
Pinkspirit I have a friend who has paid over six times for the same white filling which continues to fall out on a regular basis.He oh so usefully informed me recently that rats have only one set of teeth for life.I thought he was kidding and envisaged teeth growing around corners.I think rats may be part of the beaver family.Handy if you want to build a dam then lol.
I read something about this a while ago, be great if it was true, not tried on humans yetd 
I wouldn't be their guinea pig lol
martinlufc5637 there is something about this picture that really disturbs me lol. I would love to have perfect teeth but having cancer treatment for over 5 years takes a toll and trying to find an nhs dentist yeah right ! But I’m pleased to be alive and smile with my mouth closed lol
suevernon1968 my mum was the same after chemotherapy, her teeth where the first thing to go, I'm sorry to hear you having a rough time, I hope everything goes well for you
martinlufc5637 I’m not in any pain and to look at me you would never know I even have incurable cancer. I’m happy to be alive with horrible teeth lol x
My teeth are crumbling due to illness and medication, something like this could be wonderful for people like me
