CONGENITALLY MISSING TEETH
 

Congenitally missing teeth are extremely common, and the genetic link in families has been long established. For any parent though, learning that your child is missing one or more of their adult teeth is a stressful situation. Lateral incisors are the most common malformed or congenitally missing teeth in humans, and parents are faced with early decisions regarding their child’s dental care that impact their smile for the rest of their life. The best way to face this is to find the right dental professionals to guide you through the best plan for their treatment. An excellent orthodontist and an experienced dentist or prosthodontist will help you understand your options, and provide you with treatment that focuses on long term health as well as gives your child a beautiful smile in the short term.
