Tooth growing in the palate: understanding hyperdontia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes a baby has a tooth that grows into the roof of his mouth. This tooth anomaly, which is sometimes linked to a a permanent tooth growing behind a baby tooth<\/a>This condition has a name: hyperdontia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperdontia is characterized by the presence of one or more extra teeth compared to the normal number of teeth. These extra teeth can be normal or atypical in shape (called supernumerary teeth). In all cases, these teeth are undesirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some extra teeth may grow into the nostril, the most common cases of hyperdontia are called \"mesiodens\". In mesiodens hyperdontia, the extra tooth or teeth are cone-shaped. These teeth also have a shorter root than usual. The root grows at the medial suture of the palate, between the two upper incisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes a fourth molar may also appear behind the upper molars, which dental professionals call a \"distomolar\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The causes and origins of hyperdontia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hyperdontia has essentially two causes: hereditary and environmental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But congenital origins must be dissociated from environmental factors which are essentially external causes. The latter occur during birth or during the child's growth (exposure to radiation for example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
