Odontogenesis is a complex process that can occasionally go off track. If teeth do not develop properly, individuals might experience one or more of these dental issues:
- Missing teeth, also known as hypodontia
- Excess teeth, which are called supernumerary teeth or hyperdontia
- Misshaped teeth
Odontogenesis is an amazing process that gives you the tools you need to eat, speak and smile. But if you or a loved one experience one of these very rare developmental anomalies, talk to your dentist. They will advise you on your treatment options and help you achieve a healthy smile.
