This is how they figured out that Cathagians performed sacrifices of their own children
It calcifies and turns into bone
I don't understand, why would they get "blocked by an instance filter for hexbear.net"? That doesn't even seem relevant to the question...
Edit: it's a joke.
The poster you are replying to is a hexbear user, you have filtered out content from hexbear. This is a kludgy way to implement that but it beats having to read most of their content.
For what it's worth, this particular comment is polite and simply states that bone grows in to the spaces left behind.
This is two days old a comment, but I literally just copy pasted your comment into google, clicked on the first thing, and apologies for linking deddit, but it used to have quality answers.
This is the first result with "growing new teeth"
We're not there yet, but it doesn't seem too far off. Definitely not scifi to say this will be possible within our lifetimes.
Cool. Growing new teeth in a lab for later installation(?) is probably something were close to, but I'm not so sure about the drug for starting tooth growth in living humans. It's one thing to activate stem cells, and another to integrate that growth in tissue not designed for new growth. The clinical mishaps are going to be equal parts hilarious and terrifying.
I do wonder how easily it's going to be to integrate new growth in general though. Like, how much the body will automatically link things together. We might get limb and organ regrowth around the same time.

Deadpool cosplay will be on a whole other level.
War reenactments and swordfighting will be even cooler I bet. Incredibly traumatizing by our standards and even more likely to trigger PTSD, but imagine the strategy around actual limb damage and pain in fencing!
I feel like too few people truly grasps the body horror of teeth. Those fuckers are terrifying.
bones are supposed to be wrapped in meat and skin. not poking through! that's normally the sign of a terrible injury.
