Having a senior moment (getting more common) but I think you can’t use the search feature (such as it is?) until you have 25 posts?
Go to Google and try different searches for teeth grille etc with this forum as the location.
Here are a couple of links and yes the question has been asked before.

Hi and Welcome to FTE
Check out the link Old F1 posted. It's probably the best one.
It's really not to hard. You just buy another left one and another right one, and center them between the existing three that you have now.
I prefered to cut the bottoms of mine off to sit flat on top of the lower valance instead of cutting two more holes in the valance. That way you can go back to original if you like.

Teeth are different?
That's interesting. Wayne's information came as a surprise. As a newbie with limited experience from a long time ago, I would not have guessed that the left, right, and center grill teeth on the '51 and '52 models are actually different.
The buck tooth photo touch up is interesting. Perhaps a rerun of the monkey faces would be interesting for those of us who are new to the list, Julie. You do seem to have an extensive library of information to share!

And WRT 48-50 grilles, here is the link to the last time we had this discussion - pretty funny.
