I’ve been hearing about re-growing teeth for 20 years. Still nothing. It’s right up there with nuclear fusion.

Cold nuclear fusion. We were quite successful with the hot kind, uncontrolled.
I mean, we can make fusion happen, but it's not exactly useful outside of turning things into not things anymore.

Swear articles like this get pushed every few years. Let me know when it's a reality I can get at my local dentist.
It's the same study that's been in process for about a decade. It entered human trials last year with those trials expected to take 5 years. Growing teeth is slow. It's not really being pushed, it's just the same reliable hit for various news sites to break out on slow news days.
If you only care about technology that's commercially available, why are you on the technology community?
Just to annoy you, is it working? I hope so.
Maybe they care about other technologies that aren't constantly just a couple years away?

Popular mechanics is a terrible source. They post click bait trash like this on a consistent basis.
They've been doing it since before clickbait was even a thing!
No they won't.
This is the same as "humans may live on a mara colony in 10 years!"
No they won't, not even close.
This article is bullshit and so is the entire site, it's all djinn economy, all wishes and fantasy with a clickbait header to make sure you go there to watch the ads to make them money.
Popular Mechanics wrote an article saying exactly this same thing like 10 years ago.

Okay but... what kinna teeth we talkin..? Any teeth?
I'd kill for some sharper canines lol

Mine are so sharp the dentist asked if I wanted them dulled a bit. I of course told him to leave em sharp!
Depends on your attack profile and what you're biting: do you want slash, stab or crush damage?

Correction: rich humans
Everything is expensive at first, before getting cheaper in the long rub

And only the fucking rich can afford it. You forgot that part in the title.
Can they make it stop too? Not taking any chances on this.
Hopefully not, iv always wanted the powers of a rat!
Grow them... where?
...toe teeth!
Edit: my 100th comment!
But will I be able to schedule a dentist appointment in four years?
Nothing new in this article, it's just rehashing stuff that's already been announced and talked about since last year.
I will surrogate any of your teeth for a small fee.
