Dental abnormalities refer to any irregularities in the structure, number, or arrangement of teeth. These can include conditions such as malocclusion, where teeth are misaligned, or hypodontia, which is the absence of one or more teeth. Other examples include dental crowding, where teeth are too close together, and supernumerary teeth, which are extra teeth that can disrupt normal dental function. These abnormalities can arise from genetic factors, developmental issues, or environmental influences. They may lead to problems such as difficulty in chewing, speech issues, or increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Early detection and treatment by a dentist can help manage these conditions effectively.
