Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the throw-out-your-toothbrush dept.

54mc writes "APL reports that Canadian Scientists have created the first device able to regrow teeth and bones. The researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton filed patents earlier this month in the United States for the tool based on low-intensity pulsed ultrasound technology after testing it on a dozen dental patients in Canada."

    if it works as they say it will, then it will truly be a remarkable device.. however, when i visited the article, I gasped when I saw an advertisement for "Conservative Tshirts".. a really hot chick, was wearing a tshirt with a portrait of Ronald Reagan on it.. it suddenly made her a lot less hot..

    didn't believe in the tooth fairy until I saw my dentist in loafers.

    Don't be so quick - remember, this is from Canada ... you could end up looking like this guy or this one ...

    though I'm sure more than a few of you wouldn't mind spending some time with this one
