I think they damn well should regenerate. I'm writing a letter to someone important about this.

You are born with all of your teeth, the only ones you will ever have. You don't develop adult teeth as you grow up, they are always there, waiting for their time.

It not ridiculous, it's common sense. You are born with only two set of teeth, baby teeth and adult teeth. Once the babies fall out the adults move in. Then if the adults fall out you're just stuck like chuck. By the way-where did you get your education at? This is the most stupid question I've ever heard.

Same reason you can't re-grow the loss of an arm or a leg or a finger or a toe...
Because kids' skulls are growing when they're young, nature evolved a second set of "some" teeth to grow in to accommodate their soon-to-be larger skull...
Adding to already existing bone "structure" is something nature evolved in us to heal damage and wear...
But bone "function" is a tougher nut to crack...
It would take too long, and evolution probably found through trial and error, it's better and faster for a human to "adapt" to loss of bone function, than to "wait" for functionality to return...
Earlier pre-humans probably didn't have time to "wait" until their limb grew back...
It may be that in the future we WILL be able to do that...
But right now...
It's all about survival, baby...!

Beacuase u don't have any teeth left in the root of ur mouth ready to grow. Beacuase when ur a baby/ kid u have a bunch of teeth and u go thru 2 pairs maybe three ( not sure ) out of ur whole life time. :) good luck..

I think because adults are done developing and so no teeth grow back, unlike children

do you think teeth just spontaneously regenerate?
why not just take good care of your teeth?
adult teeth ARE NOT supposed to fall out, you know...

No doubt. A shark's teeth keep getting replaced for the entire lifetime - free!!

because there aren't any teeth to replace them. when ur baby teeth fall out, you already have some in there to come back in, but with adult teeth you don't.

because we are born with all our teeth and being they are called adult teeth means we as adults need to take care of our teeth so we don't lose them...
