Their teeth are not formed in bony cavities as in bony animals. So, they can easily be removed in feeding. Sharks must have teeth as they are the only real defense or means of feeding. They are also very weakly designed teeth which aren't heavy vascularized bone. They can break easily but are perfect for sharks and their physiology. Therefore, sharks need a ready replacement system for their design of physiology and metabolism. It allows them to survive in very harsh conditions, temps and depths.

Sharks, some types of reptiles (like crocodiles), and some types of fish have multiple sets of teeth that are continuously being replaced throughout their lives. This allows them to maintain their ability to eat and hunt effectively.
Sharks have 5 or more rows of teeth. Humans only have 20 baby teeth and 32 adult teeth. Sharks can re-grow teeth. Humans only get 2 sets (milk teeth and permanent teeth). Sharks have serrated edges on their teeth. Shark teeth are not attached to the jaw. Humans bite and chew with their teeth. Sharks use their teeth to rip their prey apart.

Blue sharks do have teeth. Since they are carnivore's and prey on fish and other sea animals they have many teeth used to capture these hard to catch prey. Like other sharks the blue shark has many rows of teeth that fall out as they get worn down, only to be replaced by a new set of teeth.
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.

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.
Sharks have rows upon rows of teeth in their mouth and when the teeth fall out the new row of teeth is ready to come through.
