A Growing Smile
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
A team of scientists from the University of Nottingham and Harvard University have developed a method of regrowing damaged teeth using a filling-like material seeded from stem cells. The new approach would greatly reduce the need for uncomfortable dental drilling. Anthony and Jeff discuss their own dental histories, and what this kind of regrowth science might mean for the future. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
