When do your teeth stop growing?!
Question: Adult teeth stop erupting around the age of 17.
They can erupt further if a tooth in an opposing arch that the tooth bites on is removed. This is called "hypereruption" and it causes the loosening and loss of the tooth because the whole tooth, crown and root, erupt to the point of loosening. That is why it is important to replace pulled teeth right away. It prevents hypereruption of teeth AND the unwanted movement of teeth BEHIND the pulled tooth.
