alphacyberrangerWorld’s 1st drug to regrow teeth enters clinical trials
xmunkThat’s pretty awesome for some folks - my uncle had three sets of teeth so thr last set was extremely brittle. I’m curious if calcium supplements and this drug could provide an alternative to dentures.
Did you say your uncle had a third set of natural grown teeth? I always assumed everyone had two sets only.
Yes, they came in in his thirties, which was like 40-50 years ago. It hasn’t happened to anyone else in the family thankfully, though he himself never had kids.
I have a friend that recently showed me his third set of teeth coming in about a centimeter below where his regular teeth grew in.
If at all possible make sure your friend is talking to a dentist or orthodontist about that - they may need calcium supplements.
SomeologyNo, some people have a complete third set. Some people only have a partial third set, or even have third teeth in just a few positions within the mouth. A dentist who told me about this said it’s a little rare, but not super rare.
