Can a broken tooth grow back?
16 doctors weighed in across 5 answers
No: Unfortunately a broken tooth cannot grow back. However, in many cases a broken tooth is completely repairable, and can be restored to full function. There are a few lucky animals, such as sharks, that can grow new sets of teeth.

No...: This is why the natural teeth truly need to be well taken care of. Broken teeth do not grow back; a repair of some kind must be done.

Unfortunately, No: teeth do not grow back. The best thing to do is to visit the dentist to get it easily fixed to the way it used to look. Take care.
