Dental Anomaly

Dental anomalies are alterations in the number, shape, size, position, or structure of the teeth. They may be present from dental development or be detected during routine checkups.

What is observed?: Teeth of unusual shape or size, absence or excess of pieces, atypical positions, or differences in the structure of the enamel.

When to see a doctor?: If you notice that your own teeth or those of a child present unusual traits, a review helps to understand their origin and follow-up.

Which specialist treats them?: The dentist performs the initial evaluation; the orthodontist, the pediatric dentist, the endodontics specialist, and the maxillofacial surgeon take part depending on the type of anomaly. Carrying out periodic dental checkups with a professional makes it easier to identify these variations in time.
