Extra teeth, sometimes known as supernumerary teeth: causes, symptoms, and treatment
Supernumerary teeth, sometimes referred to as hyperdontia, are extra teeth growing beyond the usual count in the dental arch. This problem typically affects the top front region (mesiodens) and molar areas, and it can develop in both primary (baby) and permanent teeth.
Roots
Though the precise origin of supernumerary teeth is unknown, genetic elements are clearly important. It is sometimes linked to disorders including Gardner's syndrome and cleidocranial dysplasia. Furthermore, contributing to the development of additional teeth is aberrant tooth development in early life.
Apertures
Supernumerary teeth can lead to biting issues, misalignment, crowded teeth, and delayed eruption of permanent teeth. Dental X-rays can only detect them when they remain unerupted. Visually, they could seem conical, tuberculate, or like ordinary teeth.
Available Treatments:
The number, location, and effect of additional teeth determine the treatment course. Often, doctors advise extraction if the additional teeth cause crowding, impede eruption, or compromise aesthetics. Aligning the remaining teeth correctly can call for orthodontic work. Untreated supernumerary teeth can cause problems, including harm to surrounding teeth or cyst development.
Early diagnosis made possible by consistent dental visits guarantees appropriate care and helps to avoid long-term dental problems.
