The world’s first tooth-regrowing drug has been approved for human trials


The world’s first tooth-regrowing drug has been approved for human trials. If things go as planned, the medicine could be available to consumers by 2030.

Human trials start in September, but the drug has been highly successful when treating ferrets and mice and did its job with no serious side effects. So in six years we can throw our toothbrushes away and eat candy bars all day and all night without a care in the world (don’t actually do that.) Recent advancements in the field include regenerative tooth fillings to repair diseased teeth and stem cell technology to regrow the dental tissue of children.
