They keep growing teeth continually. As they lose teeth, another one from the row behind will push forward.

Many, many teeth. Sharks have several rows of teeth, and in reserve, 'tooth buds' so as teeth fall out or are broken (and because of their feeding habits sharks are very tough on teeth) a tooth from one of the back rows moves forward and a new tooth bud grows into a tooth to fill its place. No one knows how many teeth a shark is capable of growing, because it seems to have an endless supply of tooth buds.

alot. if you want to find out, get ready to get eaten if you plan to count, but i think they have 3 rows of 48 teeth each row, so that would be like, 134 teeth

They grow and loose teeth so much no one can give you an absolute amount like dolphins for example.
