Hypodontia is a dental condition characterized by the absence of one or more teeth. It can affect both primary (baby) and permanent teeth, leading to gaps in the smile and potential issues with chewing and speech. The condition can be caused by genetic factors, environmental influences, or developmental issues during tooth formation. Individuals with hypodontia may require dental treatments such as braces, implants, or dentures to restore function and aesthetics. Early diagnosis and intervention by dental professionals can help manage the condition effectively. Regular dental check-ups are essential for monitoring and addressing any related concerns.
