Tumors are damaged-DNA-containing cells... so those cannot be used (cancerous cells also classify along with this). Now, when you mentioned fat cells, that may be something to look into.
Teratomas aren't cancerous, they're perfectly healthy cells growing where they shouldn't be. When they get too advanced they are actually classified as foetus in fetus, which means that the person carrying them is literally hosting their brother or sister inside them. They aren't technically alive, but close enough. I hope the Total Recall version never actually happens. Human teeth also contain stemcells.

There's another source to look into, but anything classified as a 'tumor' has damaged DNA because it is growing out of control.

Yeah, but teratomas are only classified as growing out of control because they're developing into another human body, inside of a human body! It's pretty gnarly. (yes, Californians really do say gnarly. A life question has been answered.)

i have the same problem with my teeth i have two extra canines jutting out of my gums overlapping my other canines

Had four (one on each 'corner' of the mouth) but they were 'above' the normal canines, not overlapping. I have one left and I don't know what they intend on doing to it.
