1. This new tech from Canada called 'Lipus'β€”it’s an ultrasonic machine designed to help adults actually regrow teeth.

Seriously, just imagine a world where you never have to deal with a dentist's drill or those nightmare root canals ever again. Researchers over at a university in Alberta, Canada, are currently fine-tuning this low-pulse ultrasonic device. The goal? To trigger tooth regrowth or fix damaged enamel naturally.
The thing is tiny, too. You basically snap it onto a temporary crown or a retainer. It gives your gums a gentle massage for about 20 minutes a day for a month, and that's supposed to kickstart the growth process. If all goes well, we might see this hitting the market in a couple of years.

2. Skip the drill and treat your teeth with ozone insteadβ€”check out HEALOZONE, the dental treatment device that uses ozone gas. πŸ™‚

Man, just thinking about getting a root canal gives me the chills... I still haven't forgotten the last time I had to go through that.

How exactly is a tooth supposed to grow in if there isn't even a bud there to begin with? It doesn't just materialize out of thin air. That’s like telling an amputee they can grow a new arm back just because they gave it a good massage. πŸ˜•

That’s actually a solid question. From what I understand, current tech can only really heal a living, cracked root. As for growing entirely new teeth? That’s going to rely on stem cells.
Scientists over in Canada and Japan are already deep in the lab working on it.

But then again, those mother stations are running on an entirely different level of technologyβ€”it’s practically cloning at this point. It has nothing to do with ultrasound. Seems a bit sketchy to me.
