There's really no such thing as "a sweet tooth," it's just a phrase meaning that someone likes sweet things. This is actually true of most animals; nearly every animal has taste buds for detecting saccharides, and will preferentially seek out foods containing them, because a food that tastes sweet is likely to be a highly concentrated store of chemical energy. (One exception: cats. Cats have a mutation that prevents them from tasting sweetness. It's not really a detriment to them since they're obligate carnivores and most sweet foods in nature are parts of plants, so eating fruit would fill them up without providing the nutrients like taurine that they need to survive.)
There's not really any "learning" involved; sugar isn't an acquired taste the way, say, beer or coffee are.
