But why? don't they have many sets of teeth when growing up?

Exactly and crocodiles keep growing teeth so they actually did evolve a defense against the dentist…

they can replace them constantly, unlike mammals where we get a set amount of teeth. because thier bite forces, or ripping causes them to lose teeth quite often.

Alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush
