How long does it take for a tooth to grow back if it gets knocked out or cracked?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
It won't: Teeth do not grow back. We only have 2 sets of teeth in our lives: baby teeth and adult teeth. If you lose an adult tooth, you need to replace it with an implant (best) or a bridge.

Not gonna happen: Teeth do not regrow. So the answer is never. Teeth can be repaired or replaced.

It Doesn't: Teeth do not grow back when you are an adult. You only get one set. To replace a tooth that has been knocked out you would require a dental implant or bridge.
