Understanding Hyperodontogeny: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Hyperodontogeny is a rare condition in which one or more teeth grow too large and become disproportionate to the rest of the dental arch. It can affect both primary and permanent teeth.
The excessive growth of teeth can cause crowding, displacement of other teeth, and can lead to various oral health problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw pain.
Hyperodontogeny can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, and certain medical conditions such as hypothyroidism or hyperparathyroidism. Treatment options for hyperodontogeny include orthodontic treatment, dental restorations, and in some cases, extraction of the affected teeth.
It is important to seek professional dental care if you suspect that you or your child may have hyperodontogeny, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent more serious complications and improve oral health outcomes.
