Comment on Lab-grown teeth might become an alternative to fillings following research breakthrough

Most of my teeth are destroyed, decades of neglect due to mental illness. I’ve been hearing about lab-grown teeth for the last 25 years and always hope it happens soon, but the progress sees to be genuine this time. I just hope it doesn’t cost insane amounts of money to get teefs grown.

I’m pretty much in the same position, my poor dentist is doing what he can to help whats left of mine, but 45 years of neglect due to mental illness has taken it’s toll, I wish implants were cheap enough but not sure if could afford them :o(
My family have been really great at helping to encourage me to start overcoming many of my issues last few years, is slow progress through, they got me out of house today and took me shopping… lol…feel tired and worn out, but at least got out of house for once :o)
I hope that you are doing okay, your not alone, so many of us in same boat, you are a part of our ‘family’ and you are loved, wanted, needed and valued, thank you for being you huuuuugs :o)

Schizo here, didn’t brush for 10 years after psychosis. Cost me much when finally i succumbed to pain from a bad one and got to a dentist. I don’t know if there’s any teeth in my mouth that haven’t had some drill action
