Most of my teeth are destroyed, decades of neglect due to mental illness. I’ve been hearing about lab-grown teeth for the last 25 years and always hope it happens soon, but the progress sees to be genuine this time. I just hope it doesn’t cost insane amounts of money to get teefs grown.
I’m pretty much in the same position, my poor dentist is doing what he can to help whats left of mine, but 45 years of neglect due to mental illness has taken it’s toll, I wish implants were cheap enough but not sure if could afford them :o(
My family have been really great at helping to encourage me to start overcoming many of my issues last few years, is slow progress through, they got me out of house today and took me shopping… lol…feel tired and worn out, but at least got out of house for once :o)
I hope that you are doing okay, your not alone, so many of us in same boat, you are a part of our ‘family’ and you are loved, wanted, needed and valued, thank you for being you huuuuugs :o)
Schizo here, didn’t brush for 10 years after psychosis. Cost me much when finally i succumbed to pain from a bad one and got to a dentist. I don’t know if there’s any teeth in my mouth that haven’t had some drill action
Can’t wait for the stories about how the fillings are tuned for the new 8G networks and caused COVID-29.
Insurance is guaranteed not to cover this.

Luxury bones!
Has anyone with a 3d printer tried 3d dentures yet? Would that work?
Dental printers are a pretty standard way to make these things. There’s a whole regulatory process for testing and certifying the printers and their resins for continued contact with gums/skin/teeth for toxicity, infection, irritation, etc.
But there are still significant drawbacks to using dead synthetic stuff as a replacement for living tissue.
Go to a mortuary. Don’t have to wait for them to be grown.
They’re going to need to shrink it down, that’s way too big.
Seriously, that’s never going to fit. Idiots.
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.
That’s great but how would it connect itself to the nervous system?
Step one is to let it relax so you’re dealing with a calm system instead.
