Why not grow new teeth?
Forget dentures: Why not grow new teeth? Scientists discover gene that appears to be in charge of tooth formation
WASHINGTON - Ever wonder why sharks get several rows of teeth and people only get one? Some geneticists did, and their discovery could spur work to help adults one day grow new teeth when their own wear out.
A single gene appears to be in charge, preventing additional tooth formation in species destined for a limited set. When the scientists bred mice that lacked that gene, the rodents developed extra teeth next to their first molars — backups like sharks and other non-mammals grow, University of Rochester scientists reported Thursday.

Japan's latest invention: The dental training robot that can 'feel pain'
A trip to the dentist could be a lot less painful in future thanks to this dental training robot.
The humanoid practice robot, dubbed Simroid for "simulator humanoid", alerts dentistry students if it is uncomfortable.
From a distance the Simroid looks like a petite Japanese woman, dressed in a pink sweater and loud red PVC heels.
On closer inspection, you realise the 'woman' is a robot - a new creation by Japanese engineers, in a bid to help dental students treat the patients in the gentlest way possible.

Dental Nirvana
Thanks Michelle for the heads up!
Dental Nirvana!
By Lynn Roberson
In the last calendar year, Madam X spent $7,000 dollars on her teeth- two crowns, one implant, a filling or two. That's with insurance and the discounts that her sympathetic dentist of 16 years offered. For $7,000, Madame could travel around the world!
Madame put her exorbitant dental bills on a low interest medical charge card that she may pay off by the time she is 80. Every month she gets her bill and grinds her teeth. Since tooth grinding (bruxisim) is the cause of her dental woes, she constantly needs more dental work. She's in a no-win situation, much like the doomed Sisyphus of mythic Greek hell.
With great interest, Madam read an article in the New York Times about dental vacations. She learned that over 200,000 Americans traveled abroad in 2006 to combine low cost, high quality dentistry with a holiday frolic. Imagine having a root canal in sunny Acapulco, or bridgework in Belle Époque Budapest. What a concept!
Fate intervened before Madam X could wend her tooth-grinding way to an exotic dental destination. She moved to Buffalo, NY. A major molar filling broke immediately. Heeding the words of her Florida dentist, "You get the best dental care at a dental college," she sought out the University at Buffalo. What she found was a dental Nirvana on Main Street - UB's School of Dental Medicine.

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Will Wagner
Here's a little story to mark the occasion:
The wedding date was set and three of the groom's best friends, a carpenter, an electrician and a dentist, were deciding what pranks they would play on the couple on their wedding night.
The carpenter decided that sawing the slats off their bed would give them a couple of laughs.
The electrician decided that wiring their beds with alternating current would be worth a chuckle or two.
The dentist wouldn't reveal what he had done, but wore a sly grin and promised that his prank would be a memorable one.
The wedding went as planned and a few days later, each of the groom's three friends receive a letter which read:
Dear Friends,
we didn't mind the bed slats being sawed and the electric shock was a minor setback. But, I am going to strangle the wise guy who put the novocaine in the vaseline!
