Our bones heal naturally when broken, at least to some extent, so why is it not the same with teeth, which are arguably more useful?
Even the tooth regrowing drug developed recently will be first tested on humans with congenitally missing tooth, not those who lost their teeth later in life, at least from what I understand, which means there’s no *re*growing anything.
Will it ever be possible to fully regrow a tooth and have it be just like the one you lost?

I don’t know about teeth > bones
The inability to walk again or use of an arm is definitely more significant than the function of teeth
Most teeth issues are a very recent ( in the scale of human existence) issue in humans. We’ve extended life by several decades; we’ve heavily modified our diet.
Maybe if we did nothing we’d develop teeth that heal eventually……or maybe not due to the alternatives of dentistry
