Do extra teeth need to be removed?

Many people with hyperdontia don’t need any treatment. If the extra teeth are starting to affect your dental hygiene or other teeth like delaying the eruption of permanent teeth, it’s best to remove them as soon as possible. This will help avoid any lasting effects, such as gum disease or crooked teeth.

Not in every case will these additional teeth be visible. When supernumerary teeth are visible, it is unattractive and can be embarrassing to those with hyperdontia. Make sure to tell your doctor about any feelings of pain, discomfort, swelling, or weakness in your mouth if you have hyperdontia. Due to this range of possible dental problems, dentists often advise their patients to have hyperdontia treatment.
