Sharks grow new teeth their entire life; they are constantly producing them. If you were to look into the mouth of a shark, you would see up to 7 rows of teeth waiting to replace the ones that fall out. (The teeth are secured by the gums alone, so they fall out easily). It's like a giant conveyer belt, and a new tooth can replace the old one in as little as 24 hours. Cool, eh?

How long does it take the permanent tooth to grow after the baby one is pulled?

It depends on a number of factors. Was the baby tooth loose at the time? If so, the permanent tooth should begin erupting into the mouth within just a few days or weeks. If the baby tooth was not loose, it could take several months, depending on the state of development of the permanent tooth. After taking an x-ray of the area, a dentist could make a fairly accurate prediction of how long the permanent tooth will take to grow in. If the baby tooth was lost prematurely, a space maintainer might need to be placed to prevent future orthodontic or occlusion problems. Check with a dentist.
