Producing or bearing teeth; having the capacity to generate teeth.
From Latin 'dentis' (tooth) + '-parous' (meaning bearing or producing, from 'parere' to bring forth). This is an archaic or technical term combining tooth with the productive sense.
Most adult animals are not dentiparous once they've stopped growing, but sharks are continuously dentiparous their whole lives—they produce thousands of replacement teeth over their lifetime, which is why they never run out.
