What are dental anomalies?

They are changes in the number, shape, size, structure or eruption of teeth. Some are inherited and others result from illness, medication or trauma while teeth are forming.

Which are the most common?

Congenitally missing teeth (agenesis), extra teeth (supernumerary), very small or peg-shaped teeth, teeth that do not erupt and remain impacted (such as canines or wisdom teeth), and enamel defects causing stains or fragile teeth, such as molar-incisor hypomineralization or fluorosis.

Why detect them early?

They can cause crowding, gaps, bite problems, sensitivity or cavities. A panoramic X-ray around age 7 or 8 shows whether teeth are missing or extra and allows treatment to be planned before bigger problems develop.

How are they treated?

Depending on the case, with orthodontics to guide teeth or open space, surgery to remove extra teeth or expose impacted ones, implants or prostheses to replace missing teeth, and restorations or veneers to correct shape and enamel. It often requires teamwork between a pediatric dentist, orthodontist, oral surgeon and prosthodontist.
