The root to new teeth!

[dysfunction]

Now this is fantastic!!

Scientists at King's College London have been awarded £500,000 to help them develop human teeth from stem cells.

Stem cells, the so-called master cells, would be programmed to develop into teeth and then transplanted into the patient's jaw where the gap is.

It is thought it would then take two months for the tooth to fully develop

So if you lose a teeth you wont have to live with a huge gaps or have false teeth anymore. So when you're in your 90's you wont have to have false teeth!

I would hate to think what the price would be, as it currently stands you need to sell your kids just to get a filling.

Besides the price, the other bad thing would be having to go through teething again as an adult.

Nice idea though.

Yes. In the future you'll only need to sell your embryos !
