Patient's question:
A 13-year-old girl has several supernumerary teeth, and now the hospital wants to perform surgery. Could you help me provide some suggestions? Should there be a corresponding number of permanent teeth in her milk teeth, except for the 10 that haven't fallen out? I can't understand how many supernumerary teeth she has inside right now. The hospital's current result is that there are more than ten supernumerary teeth. I'm worried that if the supernumerary teeth are extracted, will permanent teeth still grow back? Thank you for your expert advice.Doctor's answer:
The photo isn't very clear, but it can be confirmed that it's not a case of having over ten supernumerary teeth. It's recommended that you visit a regular hospital's dental department for a diagnosis. Currently, you're still in the mixed dentition stage, so it's advisable to consult with several dental departments and seek a diagnosis before taking corresponding measures. The above advice is for the question "Does a 13-year-old girl with several supernumerary teeth need surgery?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
