You usually get your last permanent teeth in about the age of 12 or 13, except for your wisdom teeth, if you're going to
have any, they usually come in between the ages of 17-21.

Humans get 2 set of teeth :
Deciduous (baby) & Permanent.

There are a total of 20 baby teeth. Most all baby
teeth erupt by the age of 3, and are gone around age 12.

There are 32 permanent teeth including 4 wisdom teeth.
They start erupting around age 6 and should be completely
erupted by age 14 or so (not including wisdom teeth which erupt a little later if you have them).

Obviously in childhood years there will be "mixed dentition"
which simply means having both baby and permanent
teeth. Some teeth that come in replace baby teeth, while
some of the molars do not.

Here ya go Mister Ed:

A horse's incisors, premolars, and molars continuously grow throughout the animal's life, to provide new material as the grinding surface is worn down from eating. A young adult will have teeth which are 4.5-5 inches long. Only about 1/4" will have erupted at this point, with the majority remaining in the dental socket. The rest of the tooth will slowly emerge from the jaw, erupting about 1/8" each year, as the horse ages.

Your teeth stop growing when all of the adult teeth are in. I guess that occurs before you turn 16. As for the wisdom teeth, they fully grow around age 21.

What do you mean by "growing back"? You get two sets, and when you're adult teeth come in they're in and if you lose them, there is no growing back.
