Part 4/6:
While the potential benefits are enormous, so are the risks. If the treatment works perfectly, it could eliminate a lot of dental inconveniences and health issues related to tooth loss. Imagine never worrying about cavities, dentures slipping, or expensive dental implants again.
However, there's also the possibility of unintended consequences. If the gene inhibition isn't tightly controlled, it could lead to abnormal or excessive tooth growth, resulting in a mouth full of mutant teeth—reminiscent of exaggerated or monstrous dentitions seen in fictional characters like Arlong from One Piece. In the worst-case scenario, the technology could produce "monster shark" teeth, transforming a person into a biological curiosity rather than an ideal dental solution.
