Teeth are an important part of the human (and animal) body. Their main function is to cut off chunks of food for easy consumption. Losing a tooth or two wouldn't be an issue, but losing most, if not all, teeth is a different story. If humans lose their teeth for various reasons, they will be fitted with dentures. Unless they have dentures or have the ability to swallow their food whole, if animals lose their teeth, they might as well wait for death to take them. In fiction, when a character loses their teeth, they will regrow their teeth faster than realistically possible. Depending on the writer, teeth will either grow rapidly, or retract/detract their fangs, either in a day or in seconds. Not only that, their tooth enamel might harden in seconds as well. Sometimes, this trope is used for comedic effects in cartoons or for dramatic effects in comics and manga. Compare hyperdontia, a condition that causes a person to have more teeth than normal. In Troperspeak, it's called More Teeth than the Osmond Family. Examples |

The Simpsons: In "Last Exit to Springfield", Lisa's dentist shows a prediction of what will happen to Lisa's teeth if she doesn't get braces. A series of pictures shows her lower incisor growing larger and larger, until eventually piercing through her cheek and skull by age 18. Bart, of course, advocates for letting nature take its course, because then Lisa would be a freak who could make money on the carnival circuit. | |

Harry Potter: Densaugeo is a hex that makes the victim's front teeth grow rapidly. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Malfoy uses it when fighting with Harry, but accidentally hits Hermione instead. This actually ends up being beneficial—her front teeth were already slightly overlarge to begin with, so when she has the hex undone, she's able to restore them to a normal length. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-4910 is a cognitohazardous quadruped that causes very rapid and painful dental growth in humans that see it. It is also capable of spreading its cognitohazardous properties to humans, and these infected humans can cause an even more severe tooth-growing effect on observers. | |

Wolverine: One story that dealt with the childhood and early life of the mutant assassin/raging psychopath Sabretooth showed how during his childhood, his parents kept him chained up in the basement due to his violent ferocity. His father mentioned that he used pliers to pull Sabretooth’s fangs out, but they kept growing back. | |

In one episode of Mutant X, there is a mutant whose power is stated to be invulnerability. However, Adam knocks out one of his teeth and sees another one grow out in seconds, making him realize there was a Power Misidentification; he actually has a very rapid Healing Factor, which provides a solution to the problem faced in this episode. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Orks have teeth that fall out and regrow rapidly. This, of all things, forms the basis of their economic system; they use their "teef" as currencynote and only theirs as other species' teeth are considered too wimpy, so the only way to have more cash (and thus bigger SHOOTAS and MORE DAKKA) in Ork society is to claim them from other Orks, usually by bashing them in the face. | |

In the Angry Beavers episode "Long in the Teeth", Daggett reminds Norbert that beavers have to chew to whittle down their long incisors, or it could lead to some dire consequences. But, due to being jealous of his brother's popularity, Daggett decides to grow out his teeth too. Eventually, the brothers' teeth grow to the point they wrap around their bodies. | |
