They can lose up to 35,000
Sharks are constantly shedding and regrowing their teeth. Over a lifetime they can lose and grow up to 50,000 teeth.
Sharks are constantly shedding and regrowing their teeth. Over a lifetime they can lose and grow up to 50,000 teeth.
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.
Adults naturally have 32 permanent teeth. In some cases adults can lose 1 to 4 wisdom teeth through surgery if they are impacting other teeth. No adult teeth are lost naturally though.
A bull shark can have up to fifty rows of teeth. When teeth fall out, they are replaced with new ones, similar to how humans lose their baby teeth.
i am sure over 100 because when a nurse shark grips on to its prey it is destin to keep holdin on

MOST likely no. theyre not like sharks ---- where new ones keep growing
Sharks have multiple rows of teeth in their jaws, with new teeth constantly growing and replacing old ones. This process ensures that the shark always has sharp and efficient teeth for hunting and feeding.
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!
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]
An adult great white shark has approximately 3000 replaceable teeth at one time. If they lose a tooth another will take its place. The teeth are approximately three inches long.
