Oh Wow, I actually still have a baby tooth @ 50+ years old because an adult tooth never grew behind it. My dentist has been warning me that eventually I'll need to bridge/implant it but I wonder if I would be a candidate for this treatment. Depending on the cost too.
- jwells89 2y agoI’m curious about this too, also having an adult tooth that never developed.
- Ueland 2y agoStrangely enough, still possible. My dad was in this sixties when he got his wisdom teeth.
- smeej 2y agoMy brother is in a similar situation, though younger, and it's especially weird in our family because my dad grew a full extra tooth near the front for no apparent reason, and his brother regrew all four wisdom teeth after having them extracted, so you'd think my brother would err on the side of too many teeth, not too few! (We're a bit screwy in general, though. My dad has an extra vertebra, besides the extra tooth, and I managed not to get enough vertebrae, but I have 1.5 extra ribs.)
