Rabbits have a rather unusual dental formula.
The top jaw has four incisors, with two large ones in the center, and two smaller ones behind them (the "peg teeth"). The lower jaw has only two incisors.
The upper jaw has three premolars and three molars on each side, and the lower has two premolars and three molars on each side. There are no canine teeth. So count 'em up and you have a grand total of 28 teeth!
The permanent (adult) teeth grow continuously as they are worn down by chewing, but they are not constantly shed.
Rabbits also have baby teeth when in the womb but lose them a week before birth.
