No, teeth do not get longer after middle age. The length and size of teeth are determined by genetics and growth during childhood and adolescence. As a person ages, teeth may wear down or become shorter due to factors like grinding or tooth erosion, but they do not naturally get longer. Any changes in tooth length after middle age would typically require dental intervention such as crowns or veneers.

How do you calculate a cow's age by her teeth?

The teeth used for determining age is the front row of incisors (cows do not have a top row of teeth). When a calf is born they usually only have one pair of middle incisors (these will appear smaller). At 1-2 years they will grow their second set of permanent incisors. 3-4 years they will gain their third set of permanent incisors, then finally the corner pair of incisors. Between the age of 5-6 the middle teeth and the corner teeth will start to show wear by levelling out. Then at 10 and over all eight teeth will begin to show wear.
