Would be amazing if, after getting a cavity, you just have the tooth pulled and grow a new one.

Imagine getting a 3rd set of teeth

Third? I want annual teeth. Like every winter my teeth all fall out and a new set grows in.

What you really want is for us to figure out how to stop cavities forming in the first place. Also, annually sounds incredibly unpleasant! Maybe once every decade?
