Teeth grow while under the gum, before they erupt. The stages are bud, cap, and bell. At the bud stage, they are the smallest. When they reach the bell stage, they are fully grown and in place to erupt. Once teeth move into position, they do not grow.

No. They may appear to grow because they are erupting thru your gums but your tooth is the same size at 12 that it is at 60.(unless you damage them)

This has occurred to me. The grownup enamel develop into becoming in too rapid, so I had the baby enamel pulled. Later, once you're a touch older, you ought to get braces to repair the crookedness of the grownup enamel.

No. That's why we were all funny looking when we got our adult teeth...they were too big for our heads. Eventually, most of us grew into our teeth.

Yes, they do. However this is while they are still being formed in the bone. By the time they erupt into the mouth and you can see them, the portion you can see (which is called the crown) has finished it's growth.
