Hyperdontia is a condition that causes too many teeth to grow in your mouth. These extra teeth are sometimes called supernumerary teeth. They can grow anywhere in the curved areas where teeth attach to your jaw. This area is known as the dental arches. • The 20 teeth that grow in when you’re a child are known as primary, or deciduous, teeth. The 32 adult teeth that replace them are called permanent teeth. You can have extra primary or permanent teeth with hyperdontia, but extra primary teeth are more common. • Extra teeth are categorized based on their shape or location in the mouth. • Shapes of extra teeth include: • Supplemental. The tooth is shaped similarly to the type of tooth that it grows near. • Tuberculate. The tooth has a tube or barrel-like shape. • Compound odontoma. The tooth is made up of several small, tooth-like growths near each other. • Complex odontoma. Rather than a single tooth, an area of tooth-like tissue grows in a disordered group. • Conical, or peg-shaped. The tooth is wide at the base and narrows out near the top, making it look sharp. • Locations of extra teeth include: • Paramolar. An extra tooth grows in the back of your mouth, next to one of your molars. • Distomolar. An extra tooth grows in line with your other molars, rather than around them. • Mesiodens. An extra tooth grows behind or around your incisors, the four flat teeth at the front of your mouth used for biting. This is the most common type of extra tooth in people with hyperdontia. • How is hyperdontia treated? • While some cases of hyperdontia don’t need treatment, others require removing the extra teeth. Your dentist will also likely recommend removing the extra teeth if you: • 1. have an underlying genetic condition causing the extra teeth to appear. • 2. can’t chew properly or your extra teeth cut your mouth when you chew. • 3. feel pain or discomfort due to overcrowding • have a hard time properly brushing your teeth or flossing because of the extra teeth, which could lead to decay or gum disease • 4. feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about the way your extra teeth look. • #hyperdontia #extrateeth #scatteredteeth
