Scientists are working on ways to help people grow new teeth. This is very exciting, but it will take time.
In Japan, doctors are testing a special medicine. This medicine can help some people who do not have all their teeth. The medicine stops a protein called USAG-1. When this protein is stopped, teeth may grow.
Tests with animals show good results. Now scientists are testing the medicine with people. They want to know if it is safe. They also want to see if new teeth can work well and stay strong.
