i have heard of people getting an arm from a cadaver from another race so i am sure they attached the nerves in those so why not teeth?
Answers:
My adult teeth were never fully developed, and were not able to ever function properly. I received false teeth, but that became too expensive and a pain to keep up with. I went on a 'tooth donor list' (yes there is such a thing) at my hospital. When a woman of my size mouth died recently in a car accident, I was able to receive her teeth. Since then I have had orthodontics and a LOT of dental work done, but finally they are beginning to seem like my own (and this was over a year ago)! For the first few months, my body did not seem to like the new addition, but with some pain killers and special medication, I was able to help my mouth and body adapt. Good question!
