Can people have two sets of teeth at the same time?

Answer 1

1. A child's jaw is smaller and requires smaller teeth. That's why when we are born and we start growing out teeth, those teeth are temporary and fall out later on.

2. People needed their teeth to live. Having two sets of teeth (and periodically growing more teeth, like molars and wisdom teeth) meant that even if the front teeth rotted away, the person would still be able to eat. Dentistry hasn't been around anywhere near as long as humans have.

Answer 2

Yes, while it is rare, people have been known to develop and grow a second set of permanent teeth. The number and location of these varie greatly between cases. Soem only have one tooth, others grow an entire other set.

Answer 3

No. We have two sets of teeth; the 20 juvenile teeth that grow in during infancy, and the 20 permanent teeth that grow in behind them as we mature, along with the 12 molars that come in at various ages, typically 6, 12, and 18.
