They usually replace the teeth instead of losing them. But usually the teeth are replaced every two weeks. A lemon shark replaces its teeth every 8-10 days. Young Great White Sharks replace there teeth every 100 days and old great white sharks replace their teeth every 230 days. The cookiecutter shark sheds the whole lower jaw at once.
