Teeth generally do not grow all the time.

Do teeth grow?

From the perspective of tooth growth and development, there are two pairs of teeth in a person's life, namely deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. Deciduous teeth erupt in infancy, and gradually fall out at a certain age and are replaced by permanent teeth. After permanent teeth erupt, they will stably exist in the corresponding position and perform chewing and other functions. Although there may be a certain degree of wear and slow movement during the use of teeth, this does not mean that teeth will continue to grow.

Teeth do not grow all the time under normal conditions, and there are specific growth stages and rules. Understanding the growth characteristics and influencing factors of teeth is essential to maintain oral health and normal function of teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene habits and regular oral examinations and treatments can help ensure the health and stability of teeth.
