Scientists May Let You Regrow Teeth by 2030

Sink your teeth into this.

Japanese scientists are advancing human clinical trials of a drug that could allow people to regrow lost teeth.

The treatment targets a gene called USAG1, which normally shuts down tooth development after your adult teeth come in. By blocking that gene, researchers are essentially restarting the body’s natural tooth-growth process.

Phase I trials began in September 2024 with 30 adult men missing at least one tooth. If successful, the treatment could potentially be available by around 2030.

Dentures? Implants?
What if you could just… grow a new tooth?

Would you try this?
