And only the fucking rich can afford it. You forgot that part in the title.
I’ve been hearing about re-growing teeth for 20 years. Still nothing. It’s right up there with nuclear fusion.
Cold nuclear fusion. We were quite successful with the hot kind, uncontrolled.
I mean, we can make fusion happen, but it’s not exactly useful outside of turning things into not things anymore.
That’s what they said…
Not just cold fusion. We are still working on creating hot fusion reactions that are controlled. That honestly makes sense. It’s kinda weird that we were able to theorize the uncontrolled reaction of fission, and then used that to create a mostly kinda stable controlled fission reactor.
No they won’t.
This is the same as “humans may live on a mara colony in 10 years!”
No they won’t, not even close.
This article is bullshit and so is the entire site, it’s all djinn economy, all wishes and fantasy with a clickbait header to make sure you go there to watch the ads to make them money.
Popular mechanics is a terrible source. They post click bait trash like this on a consistent basis.
They’ve been doing it since before clickbait was even a thing!
Grow them… where?
…toe teeth!
Edit: my 100th comment!
Been hearing this claim for 20 years. Let me know where and when I can sign up for the trails.
It’s always 5 years away though, this one is 4! We’re making progress.
It was 5 years away last year and now this year it’s 4 years away! Why do they keep changing the number !!1!
Not only does it need to become possible, it needs to become more effective than other treatments like crowns and implants. I think it’s going to be a long time, and even then will only be applicable in limited cases for a long time, and will be really expensive.
Nah. Because
Sweet dreams.
The reason toddlers have such cute chubby cheeks… because they’re chock full of teeth :D
Popular Mechanics wrote an article saying exactly this same thing like 10 years ago.
Did they? I can’t find it.
It may have been Popular Science, the other side of the same rag coin.
I they’re gonna take 4 years to grow, I’ll just stick with fillings.
Correction: rich humans
Everything is expensive at first, before getting cheaper in the long rub
yeah except all the things getting more expensive year after year
Like cars? Televisions? Home appliances?
Like dental care
How about sticking to the actual topic: Medicine and dentistry.
Getting a basic filling in 1925 versus the same procedure in 2025.
Regardless of who pays (government, the patient, insurance, etc) which would be more expensive?
By the way:
Basic Model T price in 1909: $825 or $30,000 today.
Basic sedan price in 2025: $30,000
Average price of a car in 2025: $50,000
Cost of model T in 1913: $14,000
Cost of model T in 1916: $9,000
See how the price went down after its 1909 release ? 😁
Find me a new car for $9,000 in the modern day.
Motorcycles can be around that price. Even new.
4 Years? I can grow a new set in 1.
inb4 teeth growing in the most wrong and least expected places
I will surrogate any of your teeth for a small fee.
Reverse tooth fairy
Nothing new in this article, it’s just rehashing stuff that’s already been announced and talked about since last year.
That’s it. Not gonna brush my teeth anymore. Just gonna grow new ones. Maybe sell them. Grow more. Smile big.
