GUM DISEASE?! Will scientists invent something that grow back the gums?

I sure hope so! Because a large part of the population has some form of gum disease.

My mom had a problem with her teeth. Now she's done some fancy surgery and got a lot of false teeth out in (not dentures) and they look like real and come wiht a 10 year guarantee. However the gums are taking a realllllll long time to grow back to its original shape. IN india i've never heard of a specialist who deals only with gum problems

There are gum specialists out there that deal with that particular problem but they are very expensive. To get a tooth permanently installed can cost you around $3,000 per tooth and that isn't including the cost to fix the gums either. I think that they need to lower the prices because a lot of people need dental work and can't afford it but I do think that someday they will find a way to regrow gum tissue but it will cost you a lot though.
