Could It Be Possible to Regrow Teeth as an Adult?

Is Regrowing Teeth Possible?

It is popular wisdom that teeth or tooth enamel can’t regrow. However, recent developments in dental research have increased the odds that someday this may not be the case. Scientists have worked on dogs and been able to grow tooth pulp in them, this promising work has raised the hope even more.

In the future, this development could allow humans to regrow part of the damaged teeth and avoid procedures such as root canals and fillings. Research on stem cells could potentially lead to preventing tooth loss or regrow teeth lost to decay accidents. Because the research is still new it might take years or even decades before this breakthrough might be successfully applied to human teeth.
