While all of us crave for a sparkling smile and look for ways to whiten our teeth, some of us don’t bother rectify anomalies in our teeth structure. It’s not because people don’t want to get rid of such problems, but because they aren’t aware that these dental errors can be rectified. The advancements in dentistry can give you the perfect smile without much trouble. All you need to do is pay a visit to your dentist.

Let’s look at the problems that your dentist can rectify.

  • Hypodontia is a condition where a person does not have some teeth. This can be corrected by using dental implants.

  • Hyperdontia is the condition in which the mouth has more teeth than usual. The condition also is a result of genetic conditions as well as environmental factors.
  • Microdontia is the dental condition in which the teeth are smaller than the usual size. In most cases, microdontia affects only one tooth or a very few. Also a genetic disorder, microdontia is said to be a symptom of another problem like dwarfism. Typically, tooth replacement is the cure for this condition.
  • Macrodontia is condition in which some or all teeth of a person are larger than usual. This is also a genetic disorder and is attributed to gigantism. In some cases, macrodontia affects one side of the face.
