Shark's teeth are constantly being replaced due to the fact that they fall out frequently. When a shark loses its tooth, a new one takes the place of the other one. A shark's mouth is literally a conveyor belt of teeth with rows of teeth ready to replace one that has fallen out. When a tooth is lost, a replacement moves up in the jaw to take its place, sometimes in as little as 24 hours.

How many teeth does a sharke have?

Sharks' teeth are arranged in series; when one tooth is damaged or lost, it is replaced by another. Most sharks may have about 5 series of teeth at any time. The front set is the largest and does most of the work. A bull shark might have 50 "rows" of teeth, with 7 teeth in each "row" (one for each series). This would therefore be 350 teeth (approximately, since some rows might be incomplete).
