I have no doubt that this is a good thing and will improve quality of life, however just the concept itself is the stuff of nightmares.

Teeth…just there….growing….

Honestly, a number of animals have regenerating teeth. Many animals in the past (like dinosaurs) also had regenerating teeth.

Humans are missing out.
