More importantly, a very rare phenomenon has been observed over the past several hundred years, of exclusively old men, who unexpectedly shed their teeth and regrew a completely new set.

This does not seem physiologically possible, as people are born with their adult teeth in development underneath their baby teeth. A dentist I mentioned this to postulated that they lived the bulk of their lives without the loss of their baby teeth, but this sounds just as unlikely.

But imagine what could be done for people with bad teeth, if their genetic trigger could be activated so that they would grow a new set of healthy teeth.

Imagine teething at the age of 40!
