If they don’t go the same way as implants

I have a tooth that simply decided to check out (I think they called it internal resorption)

My insurance only partly covered a bridge (a fake tooth glued to the others on each side) and said an implant was only for "aesthetics" and so wasn’t covered. So, according to them, the thing that looks like a real tooth, acts like a real tooth, get taken care of like a real tooth… the real "set it and forget it" solution….. was just for show!

I could totally see them argue that regrowing a tooth is just a luxury….. 🤦‍♂️

Insurance company CEOs' limbs should be considered "aesthetics".

Implants are (to me) some lovectaftian horror shit. I'm missing a tooth between my incisor and my front teeth, and after reading about the implant procedure decided I'm fine being mistaken for a hockey player. Looks kinda tough

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Had my 2 front ones done, full posts into my skull. Had to actually get them redone semi recently actually, just the teeth not the posts. I can tell you that while it is intimidating, I'm pretty happy with the results. Then again 2 front teeth is a pretty big difference. The cost was also fairly huge as well.

Dental insurance is a scam

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

1000 bucks a year take it or leave it. We don't cover anything more then 50% and 80% if we are feeling kind.

The avg cost of any procedure is like 7264859262 dollars. So you need at least 5 dental plans to cover even half of anything!

Apparently, it really is a thing: https://techfixated.com/human-trials-begin-for-drug-that-could-let-adults-regrow-teeth-for-the-first-time/

[–] Ice@lemmy.zip 27 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Interesting, but the article also feels llm-generated.

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 10 points 3 days ago

Definitely LLM... the "author" has 1624 posts since December 10, 2024. And all of the early ones are those stupid SEO-optimized "how to fix x" posts. (including one that's literally about how to fix X/twitter lol).

Pretty sure the photo would be. Teeth grow inside the gums....

Some pictures are meant to be demonstrative and intentionally inaccurate for said demonstration.

My assumption was that's what they were going for.

I always giggle when I see this treatment mentioned because the gene they block (I think that's how they explained it) is usag-1. Usagi in Japanese is rabbit, an animal known for their ever-growing teeth.

Little known fact. Hockey players start out able to read. The longer they play the sport their abilities just degrade.

Finally. I'm very much looking forward to this

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Same. I’m down to have all my teeth removed and let new ones grow in, to repair the gum-line corrosion from my early childhood that leaves me highly susceptible to cavities. I have more fillings than teeth at this point.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Me too! My wisdom teeth grew in sideways and fucked up all my teeth even cracking a few.

I would rather do a hollywood smile for all my teeth, just replace all that weak, natural mineral.

Replace it with glorious artificial matter! The flesh is weak, And so are it's products!

Does that mean we can now get multiple rows like a shark?

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 38 points 4 days ago

See, that’s the sort of forward-thinking that I want from everyone.

[–] SparroHawc@piefed.world 10 points 4 days ago

You kid, but the reason we can regrow teeth like this is that we actually have the cells for a third row of teeth. Once these ones are gone, though, you don't have any more back-ups.

I already had supernumerary teeth, so if I took this, I feel like I’d be a super hero. A bad one, but one nonetheless.

And they call him... Overbite!™

No fucking chance. I don't want teeth growing in my asshole or somewhere. You guys can be the guinea pigs first.

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You sure? Kinda solves the whole corn problem.

Oh come now, you will only have teeth growing out of your asshole if you have a certain type of tumor on your asshole, that does sometimes grow teeth and I think hair, it's weird.

I like how someone who is making fun of another's literacy, did so with poor grammar.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You don't need that comma, bro.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What I've noticed is that most poor comma placement is because people forgot the leading one; "I like how someone , who is making fun of another’s literacy, did so with poor grammar."

It's astoundingly common, including (especially) amongst publications.

Sweet. I lost a few molars in sports accidents and gincidents, so I'd love this. Maybe not the tiny Deadpool arm style of tooth part.

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Was gincidents a typo,, or were they gin-related incidents?

Do root canals or any other dentistry prevent this from working?
