Tooth regeneration may become a reality due to the development of a drug called "dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells", which involves injecting stem cells from wisdom teeth, deciduous teeth, and orthodontic subtraction teeth at multiple points around the lesions. After a while, new teeth will grow in.

A 59-year-old Ms. Wang suffered from severe dental disease and had many teeth extracted. By chance, she participated in this new drug trial. After taking the medicine for half a year, the alveolar bone on Ms. Wang's upper right side actually grew by 2 millimeters, the gum bleeding disappeared, and the teeth that were originally going to be extracted were also saved. ?

Currently, this new drug has entered the second phase of clinical trials and is on the schedule to be released to the public.

The invention of this drug is of course a great benefit to the people, especially those with dental problems and the elderly with loose and fallen teeth. After all, dentures and filled teeth are not as useful as your own teeth.

It is said that toothache is not a disease, the pain can kill people. Only people who have experienced toothache can understand the trouble caused by dental problems. My own teeth are not very healthy. They are so sensitive and sore that I cannot chew hard things. Last year, one of the teeth developed wormholes and cracks, so I had no choice but to pull it out. As a result, the tooth next to it was also somewhat loose, and its function was greatly affected. I couldn't even put melon seeds there for cracking.

But we cannot continue to extract teeth, otherwise we will pass them on one by one, and we may not be able to keep any teeth in our mouth. If this kind of drug that can re-grow teeth can really enter the market, it will indeed solve the problems of many people.

However, today’s dental implants are not cheap and cost thousands of dollars. This kind of tooth-growing drug is definitely not cheaper than dental implants. Most people probably can’t afford it. It would cost a tooth to grow again. The price is enough to replace a car without buying a suite.

One or two teeth can still be saved up, but if you wait until you are old, it may not be realistic to spend too much money on your teeth at once.

So, it is indeed good news that teeth can be regenerated, but it is still far away from ordinary people. Maybe when the technology is advanced enough, its price will be more affordable.
