Re:Ask HN: What is your experience with Nano-Hydroxyapatite ... by bionhoward on Sunday October 15, 2023 @07:54AM (#37888997)
You got me curious about tooth osteoblasts, some links: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK572055/#:~:text=The%20....

They’re actually called ameloblasts and it seems they do not persist long term (according to our current understanding) “ The cells are part of the reduced enamel epithelium after enamel maturation and then subsequently undergo apoptosis before or after tooth eruption.” from:

However anecdotally, I feel like my teeth did recover from a crack without any dental work
