If only teeth grew on trees, and you wanted a larger upper bicuspid, for example, you could just go to the tooth tree and pick yourself a pearly new one. Were medieval Europeans trying to grow tooth trees when they buried their children's teeth in the earth around their houses? Not exactly. But they were trying to grow something -- permanent teeth.
