Why do teeth don't regenerate?

Seems pretty dumb in our biological design to not be able to regenerate such a functional (and also easily breakable) part of our body.

They might soon just do that with some help.

The world’s first clinical trial of a drug designed to regenerate human teeth is slated to start in a few months, following promising results from animal studies. If successful, the revolutionary treatment could be available commercially by 2030

I’m sure it will only be $10,000 per tooth.
- $10,000 per tooth
  
  easily 10x this in US medical money lol
  
  Depends on if they can grow the teeth with planned obsolescence in mind. 10K but they last a year.
  
  I could see it being a trend. Get the new off off white model with Bluetooth capability so you know when to brush your teeth. 10K for the install with a monthly service fee of 2.5K.
