Is it permissible to continue supplicating for the restoration of lost teeth, despite how impossible that may seem rationally and customarily?
Supplicating for the growth of new teeth is considered an transgression in supplication, because continuous observation has proven that permanent teeth do not regrow once they fall out.
Therefore, whoever loses their teeth should pursue available treatment options, such as fitting dentures or undergoing dental implants. If financially unable, they should strive to acquire the means for it or supplicate to Allah to facilitate someone who can assist them.
One should also exercise patience, seek reward from Allah, and utilize legitimate means of treatment without despair or despondency, while strengthening faith and self-confidence. Many individuals with disabilities have proven their worth and contributed greatly.
