They usually replace the teeth instead of losing them. But usually the teeth are replaced every two weeks. A lemon shark replaces its teeth every 8-10 days. Young great white sharks replace there teeth every 100 days and old great white sharks replace their teeth every 230 days. The cookiecutter shark sheds the whole lower jaw at once.

No. Sharks lose one, maybe two teeth at a time, and new ones slide in to replace them. It's like a tooth conveyer belt!
How sharp are the teeth of a tiger shark?
The teeth of sharks are embedded in the gums rather than directly fixed to the jaw, and are constantly replaced throughout the shark's life. Multiple rows of replacement teeth are grown in a groove on the inside of the jaw and moved forward in a "conveyor belt"; some sharks lose 30,000 or more teeth in their lifetime. The rate of tooth replacement varies from once every 8--10 days to several months. In most species teeth are replaced one at a time, while in the cookiecutter sharks the entire row of teeth is replaced simultaneously.[10] The shape of a shark's tooth depends on its diet: those that feed on mollusks and crustaceans have dense flattened teeth for crushing, those that feed on fish have needle-like teeth for gripping, and those that feed on larger prey such as mammals have pointed lower teeth for gripping and triangular upper teeth with serrated edges for cutting. The teeth of plankton-feeders such as the basking shark are greatly reduced and non-functional.[11]
How big are great white skarkes teeth?

What do they use shark skin and shark teeth for?
scientists are studying shark skin to come up with a material to put on the bottom of boats so they don't get barnacles. Sharks never have barnacles on their skin. this is not because they swim fast but because there are tiny rides in their skin. Shark teeth as I've heard so far are used for nothing but necklaces and novelties. It doesn't hurt the shark though. Sharks have many rows of teeth, they lose them all the time. eventually after the teeth are lost they end up on shore where people can find them. I hope this helped! :)
