iirc those are skulls of someone with some disease, not toddler skulls
This is how they figured out that Cathagians performed sacrifices of their own children
Okay, that’s enough Lemmy for me today.
What happens to the spaces the adult teeth take up once they get out?
This is two days old a comment, but I literally just copy pasted your comment into google, clicked on the first thing, and apologies for linking deddit, but it used to have quality answers.
Man, I wish new teeth would grow there. Just get a new set every decade or so.
This is the first result with “growing new teeth”
We’re not there yet, but it doesn’t seem too far off. Definitely not scifi to say this will be possible within our lifetimes.
Cool. Growing new teeth in a lab for later installation(?) is probably something were close to, but I’m not so sure about the drug for starting tooth growth in living humans. It’s one thing to activate stem cells, and another to integrate that growth in tissue not designed for new growth. The clinical mishaps are going to be equal parts hilarious and terrifying.
I do wonder how easily it’s going to be to integrate new growth in general though. Like, how much the body will automatically link things together. We might get limb and organ regrowth around the same time.

Deadpool cosplay will be on a whole other level.
War reenactments and swordfighting will be even cooler I bet. Incredibly traumatizing by our standards and even more likely to trigger PTSD, but imagine the strategy around actual limb damage and pain in fencing!

I’m imagining something like this
Bone grows in behind them.
I don’t understand, why would they get “blocked by an instance filter for hexbear.net”? That doesn’t even seem relevant to the question…
Edit: it’s a joke.
It calcifies and turns into bone
I feel like too few people truly grasps the body horror of teeth. Those fuckers are terrifying.
bones are supposed to be wrapped in meat and skin. not poking through! that’s normally the sign of a terrible injury.
commiserating…
Say it ain’t so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
The adult teeth are covered by a layer of bone (which has been removed to see inside in the pictures here)
