Never: Really, teeth never stop growing. The basic answer is that most crown growth is completed before the tooth pushes through the gum. The root growth is completed within two years after the tooth pushes through the gum. Internal changes in the pulp chamber and root canals continue throughout the life of a healthy vital tooth.
