Human teeth are the only part of the body that cannot heal themselves.
Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).
The claim that human teeth are the only part of the body that cannot heal themselves is misleading. While teeth do not regenerate like some other body parts, such as the liver or skin, they can undergo limited repair through processes like remineralization. The evidence indicates that teeth have some capacity for self-repair, although it is not as extensive as other organs. Therefore, the claim is partly true but oversimplified.
