    When I was a teenager it was announced that we would soon be able to stimulate the growth of brand new teeth, right in the mouth. I’m almost 50 and I need some new fuckin’ teeth real soon.

      There was a new development in japan less than a year ago. Downside is all your teeth fall out and all regrow

      The problem is those new teeth were soft with no enamel. This could address that. Either way, no insurance will cover this and it will cost a fortune.

      No offense, but unless you have some sort of condition like not growing enamel, what have you been doing for your teeth to be that bad at not even 50? Chewing on anvils and flossing with barbed wire?
