Implants look like teeth, work like teeth, but are not teeth. They must be maintained. This is one of the reasons...

A future where missing teeth could be replaced by growing new ones may be one step closer.

Japanese dental startup Toregem has secured $5.3 million in new funding to advance Phase II human trials of TRG035, an experimental tooth-regrowth treatment.

The therapy is being developed for people with congenital tooth agenesis, a rare condition in which one or more permanent teeth never develop. For many patients, treatment currently relies on dentures, bridges, or dental implants.

TRG035 is designed to block a protein called USAG-1, which researchers believe may help activate natural tooth-development pathways and stimulate the growth of new teeth. The long-term goal is to develop a treatment capable of inducing a "third dentition" after the permanent teeth have already formed.

The new funding will support ongoing clinical trials in Japan, future development plans in the United States, and continued research into regenerative dental medicine.

While the treatment remains experimental and is not yet available to patients, it is among the most advanced tooth-regeneration therapies currently being tested in humans.

If successful, it could one day offer a completely new treatment option for people born with missing teeth.

Vitamin D deficiency has been increasingly associated with multiple oral health conditions in scientific and clinical research. Evidence suggests that low vitamin D levels may contribute to enamel defects, higher cavity risk, periodontal disease, impaired bone support around teeth, and delayed healing after dental treatments.

Vitamin D plays an essential role in calcium metabolism, tooth mineralization, immune regulation, and inflammatory control within the oral cavity. When levels are inadequate, the body’s ability to maintain strong teeth and healthy gums may be compromised.

Researchers have observed that individuals with vitamin D deficiency may have a greater susceptibility to dental caries and gum disease, highlighting the important connection between nutritional health and oral health.

Maintaining healthy vitamin D levels through safe sunlight exposure, diet, and medical guidance may support both oral and overall health.

Osteoporosis may raise severe gum disease risk, driven partly by postmenopausal estrogen loss, highlighting the need for coordinated patient care.

The American Dental Association recommends that a child’s first dental visit happen soon after the first tooth erupts — and no later than the first birthday.

Many parents wait until a child complains of pain or develops visible cavities, but dental problems can begin much earlier than most people realize.

Early dental visits help monitor oral development, identify signs of tooth decay, guide parents on feeding and brushing habits, and build healthy routines from the start.

Baby teeth are temporary, but they play a major role in chewing, speech development, jaw growth, and guiding permanent teeth into place.

Preventive dental care should begin early — not after problems appear.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan is supposed to help millions of Canadians access dental care. But repeated denials of pre-authorization for more complex procedures, like crowns, is leaving both patients and dental providers baffled.
