Other studies are exploring stem cells found inside dental pulp. These cells have the potential to rebuild dentin — the hard tissue under your enamel — offering hope for repairing cavities and restoring tooth strength without fillings or drilling.
While these breakthroughs are promising, experts say it may take a few more years before these treatments become widely available. But one thing is clear: the future of dentistry is shifting from “repairing” teeth to “regrowing” them.
Can Home Remedies Help Right Now?
While true regrowth still requires medical technology, some natural habits help strengthen existing teeth and support better oral health:
• Increase minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus
• Oil pulling with coconut or sesame oil
• Saltwater rinses to reduce bacteria
• Clove oil for gum health
• Vitamin D to help your body absorb minerals
• Avoiding sugary snacks that weaken enamel
These won’t regrow a missing tooth, but they can protect the ones you still have.
