NJ: Stem Cell Grown Teeth

JUSTIN:
Scientists have discovered an alternative to dentures. It's called brushing your teeth twice a day whilst you've still go them.

But for those of us who can't be bothered - all is not lost. For new research has opened the possibility of replacing missing teeth with new ones grown inside your jaw.

Joining me now to discuss this, is someone who knows more about these matters than most - the Tooth Fairy.

TOOTH FAIRY:
(HIGH-PITCHED VOICE) Good evening.

JUSTIN:
Now, I understand this development has made you rather upset?

TOOTH FAIRY:
Justin, I'm so livid - I may even end up going on strike!

JUSTIN:
But, isn't that a bit drastic?

TOOTH FAIRY:
Listen, I don't want to sound alarmist - but if this research continues - pretty soon there won't be a Tooth Fairy!

JUSTIN:
Well, why not?

TOOTH FAIRY:
Because it undermines the very business model which allow me to put two quid under every kiddie's pillow.

JUSTIN:
Hang on - two quid? You never gave me more than 50p!

TOOTH FAIRY:
Hey, don't blame me - blame inflation!

JUSTIN:
Look, you can't seriously be worried about going broke! I mean, you're the Tooth Fairy!

TOOTH FAIRY:
Money doesn't grow on trees, Justin - not even at the bottom of my garden. I have to EARN my own dosh!

JUSTIN:
How?

TOOTH FAIRY:
You see; I don't collect teeth for the sake of it. That'd be weird and a bit creepy. I clean them up and sell them on for a profit.

JUSTIN:
But who on earth would want to buy second hand teeth?

TOOTH FAIRY:
Well, duh - denture manufacturers!

I like the idea of a tooth fairy involved in this story. The newsjack team have said if you can avoid a interview do - so maybe would have been better if the Tooth Fairy called a meeting between other fictional heroes; santa, easter bunny etc.

Sweet story. Maybe to sweet. There are some good moments. I liked when the toothfairy started of with a highpitched voice. Could be interesting if you followed on with that and gave it a strange personality.

Could you do something that makes the tooth fairy sound like one of these dodgey we buy any mobile or cash for gold companies, that might be quite funny

The tooth fairy makes the story funny and very enjoyable to read. However the action was very quick and needs to be a bit longer in future.
