What Person Has 500 Teeth?

Published in Animal Facts 1 min read

The answer to this question depends on what you mean by "person." If you are referring to a human, then the answer is no human has 500 teeth. Humans typically have 32 adult teeth.

However, if you're thinking about a creature with 500 teeth, you might be imagining a shark. Sharks have rows upon rows of teeth that constantly replace themselves. While the exact number varies depending on the species, some sharks can have hundreds of teeth at a time.

Here are some additional points to consider:

  • Humans have a limited number of teeth: We typically have 20 baby teeth and 32 adult teeth.
  • Sharks have a unique dental system: They have multiple rows of teeth, and when one tooth is lost, another moves forward to take its place.
  • Other animals with many teeth: Some other animals, like snails and slugs, have thousands of teeth.
