Earlier in the day I notice my armatus had a tooth sticking out and the other was gone... Well I feed him a feeder then that one fell out.
My question is will they grow back...I and quite worried that it might be permanent.
here some pics below

No worry, they grow back. They do this all the time and new ones appear after they fall out and as they grow the teeth keep getting bigger and bigger. I probably have enough armatus teeth in my drawer to make a necklace!

ok cool. I just notice them now. My armatus cant close his mouth now but his new set of teeth are in :D thanks Blkpiranha. But my only concern is the thick short tooth
 
i'm pretty sure the small ones will replace too. i never pay much attention to the short ones, but i do find them at the bottom of the tank often. my payara has a full set of teeth.. so i assume they grow back just like the front fangs

it's a good sign! new teeth means it's growing :)

@blkpiranha- that necklace sounds extremely uncomfortable lol
