Once you lose your baby teeth and your adult set grows, thats all the teeth you have for the rest of your life? If 1 gets loose or knocked out ( adult ) will you grow another one? Something i always wondered about~

There is this new thing called google, but yes if it gets completely knocked out it will NOT regrow, but you can get a fake tooth in i think

Me too. My sister had her first wisdom tooth last year. Lucky for me, because they say it hurts.

Teeth don't grow. Well they grow, but not really.
Adult teeth are just stored in your jaw or something.

Your adult teeth are pre-stored in your jaw, should you lose your first set, those will slip into place. Should you knock one out, you won't get any back, you'll need a replacement made by dentist technician people.
Also, sometimes it happens, that you lose a tooth of the first set. But there's no adult tooth to replace it. It's some sort of genetic misfit.
I have that with one of my teeth, looking forward to the bill of having to let someone creat one.

I don't have the best set of teeth, but it's fine with me. It's better than having fake ones.

Some people do have a 3rd set of teeth but its not really a good thing. I had 2 extra teeth still in my gums after my 2nd set were all through. I had to have my gums cut open to remove them. I looked like a monkey for 3 weeks because of my swollen face...
They were actually 2 canine teeth but they were above the 2 front incisors. It was only because of my british stereotype bad teeth that they found the 3rd set before it came through and ruined my mouth even more. If i never needed braces i doubt they would have ever x-rayed my mouth and found them.

I never had my wisdom teeth removed. When i had those 2 in my gums removed i had 4 other teeth removed and then the braces i had afterwards pulled them all together so i had nice big gaps at the back for the wisdom teeth to come through without causing any problems. (damn, that was a long sentence without any commas). I guess if you have to have your gums cut open to get wisdom teeth removed it would be worse since they are in 4 different places. They only had to cut into one place to get my two teeth out.

im 19 and have never had any teeth pulled. Dunno if they are coming or if they should've come already but i like the feeling of teeth cutting my gums anyway. Can't imagine having to get anything pulled though.

Its good to get teeth pulled. I couldnt eat anything except for mash potato and ice cream for 3 weeks. How is that bad? Sure, i was in excruciating pain but youll get over that.
