Yes, it is common for the gums to be swollen and sore. You can put some orajel or some clove oil on them to soothe them and reduce the swelling. If it persists, see your dentist.

If you have a baby tooth and an adult tooth is growing in front of the baby tooth would you need to remove the baby tooth?

This is very common in children where the adult tooth comes out behind or in front of the baby tooth. Sometimes the baby tooth becomes loose as the adult tooth comes out more and extraction is not necessary. If the tooth is not becoming loose, then the tooth should be removed.

Will human teeth reproduce?

No, unfortunately we are not like sharks, who continue to grow nice new teeth throughout their lives. If a tooth falls out of our mouths, we will have a gap there permanently unless we get a fake tooth. The only time a tooth falls out and gets replaced by a new tooth, is when our baby teeth begin to fall out during childhood.
