Would be amazing if, after getting a cavity, you just have the tooth pulled and grow a new one.

Imagine getting a 3rd set of teeth

Third? I want annual teeth. Like every winter my teeth all fall out and a new set grows in.

Imagine the unlimited cashflow from the tooth fairy

It'll pay for itself

I have a weird nostalgia for the whole process of losing a tooth. The relief when you finally get it out and then the awesome feeling of running your tongue over the hole. Lol

What you really want is for us to figure out how to stop cavities forming in the first place. Also, annually sounds incredibly unpleasant! Maybe once every decade?
