Isn't it a pity that teeth don't continually replace themselves for the whole of your life?

Question

Like hair and nails keep growing.

It would be great if you always had a new tooth come through when one was extracted, instead of just baby teeth, and just one set of permanent teeth.

Answer 1

ahhh...like a shark.

hmmm...

Answer 2

IT''S MOTHER NATURE'S WAY TO TEACH YOU OF TAKING CARE OF THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, LOL.

Answer 3

Why doesn't evolution help us out with that? I'm not sure how it could work but seriously like every other animal has teeth that just keep growing back, why not humans.. My teeth suck, so if I could pull them all out and replace them all, (not dentures) I'd be so happy :P

Answer 4

it's not fair that we only get one set of teeth......    i think everytime we lose one, another should replace it....something really need to be done about that..:)

Answer 5

Oooh, but think of the pain.

You won't realize it when you're young because you're not so aware.

I have two wisdom teeth coming through now and it hurts so bad, even more to eat. I've also had a tooth out and I can't say that was painless.

Would be nice though, even though you'd still need braces because everybody's teeth would not grow straight.

Answer 6

Yes which is why you should never smoke crack or meth!

Answer 7

That would be fabulous! I wouldn't have had to spend so much money on bridgework.
