Snakes periodically replace teeth. It isn't every tooth at once but more like every other tooth. That way some teeth are loose while others are well fastened to the jaws. Even fangs in rattlers and cobras are shed periodically. Very often the shed teeth get caught in a prey animal and are swallowed. I've known guys to go through the droppings from captive rattlers and make a collection of the shed fangs.
