Question 2

can teeth grow back at age 30?

Accepted Answer

No: Your adult teeth do not regrow.  Your wisdom teeth may be erupting If you feel like you have teeth "regrowing" in the back of your mouth.

Question 3

how much time until my teeth grow back?

Accepted Answer

Two sets: You only have two sets of teeth, your primary (baby) teeth, and your secondary (adult) teeth. There are no more teeth to erupt. At 40, your baby teeth are long gone, and if you've lost some or all of your adult teeth, you will need a dentist to treat you.

Question 4

what is remineralization vs regrowth or teeth, what is the exact definition of remineralization?

Accepted Answer

: Here is the definition of REMINERALIZATION OF TEETH by oralhealth website: remineralization is the natural repair process for non-cavitated lesions. It relies on calcium and phosphate ions, assisted by fluoride, to rebuild a new surface on the existing crystal remnants in the subsurface. The remineralized crystals are less acid soluble than the original ones.
Look for more information by yourself.

Question 5

can my teeth grow back after 14 years old?

Accepted Answer

Wisdom teeth?: If you are 24 and you feel or see teeth growing in from the back of your mouth, then it is probably your wisdom teeth. Call your dentist for a consultation.

Question 6

hi dr. i am 28 years old and i have removed 3 front teeth i was wondering what can help for them to grow back.
thank you?

Accepted Answer

: They will not grow back. Humans have 2 sets of teeth. The set that helps them through infancy when their head/jaws are smaller as are the teeth. The permanent teeth emerge as the baby teeth shed &amp; head/jaw size approaches its final configuration. If you have lost permanent teeth you can find a cosmetic dentist to build a bridge or do synthetic implants. You cannot grow new teeth.

Question 7

my son got his front teeth surgically extracted at age 3. he is now 8 and his teeth hasn't grown back as yet. how long does it take for teeth to grow back ?

Accepted Answer

: Probably everything is OK. Adult teeth usually don't start to appear before age 9-10. If you remain concerned, a dentist could easily evaluate the situation -- which probably would be reassuring. Good luck.

Question 8

do wisdom teeth always hurt when they're growing?

Accepted Answer

No: Wisdom tooth  pain may be associated with inflammation or infection of the gum tissue that surrounds a wisdom tooth that is trying to erupt. Usually the tooth is fully developed by this time and not still 'growing'. 
This is one of the reasons why wisdom teeth are recommended for removal. A dentist can provide more information after an exam.

Question 9

is it possible for the gums between my teeth to regrow?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: It depends upon why you are missing the gums between your teeth in the first place? I suggest that you see a periodontist to evaluate your specific situation and then you can get an accurate answer to your question.  Without know what dental treatment you already received and why you are missing gum tissue, we can only speculate as to what the future holds for you.

Question 10

will wisdom teeth grow back after having them pulled out?

Accepted Answer

No*: *An individual who has undergone the removal of their wisdom tooth may on rare occasion find another tooth developing in the site of the extracted wisdom tooth.  One possible cause could be that there may have been a supernumerary (extra) tooth that was not visible on the x-ray or at the time of surgery that was not removed, and is now developing into a visible tooth.
