Just wondering if snakes grow back their teeth, fangs and scales back due to some sort of injury?

Cheers Mo :)
 
Yes, yes and ............yes, depending on the damage.
 
"Snake teeth are both acrodont (attached to the bone) and polyphydont (able to grow back when lost), and a snake may have several sets of teeth throughout its lifetime."

Hopefully this article is accurate enough :)
