No, not the ones from berries that irk you into reaching for the floss.
I'm talking about a futuristic concept for replacement dentition that came to me at 5 am this morning, lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.
Imagine a group of cells predetermined to turn into a tooth, injected into the gum and stimulated somehow systemically. All you would have to do is wait for this seed pod to grow into a tooth, which would push out the existing detritus in a fashion familiar to all.
Think of all the money that would turn up under pillows!
I'm sure there will be detractors - the tooth fairy not least among them.
Clearly I need to return to bed.
