Someone just put up pics of hyperdontia on my FB

[snipsnsnails]

The one on the top row, second from left is fake, right?

RIGHT?!?!? Arrrrgggghhhh!

[ralphlauren]

Omg. That is horrible. I feel so badly for people that have that.

[TrickyBob]

I want to say that once upon a time I read that it was fake, but who knows.

[joenali]

Ummmm whaaaat???

[papie]

Omg this needs a warning.
I am so going to have that teeth spitting dream tonight after this.

[janegold]

Omg, no.

Why didn't the person with the braces have the second row removed?

I'm going to guess that since your upper teeth are only protected by a small piece of skin before it opens up to your sinus's that taking out the teeth might pose the risk of not closing and causing openings to the sinus. Which might lead to infection. 

[snipsnsnails]

Haha, I said it was hyperdontia! And I had to save it to my pics on my phone and then try to delete it w/o looking at it again!! I might not even be able to come back in here!!!

[snipsnsnails]

Their dental floss bills must be exorbitant!

[thinkofthesoldiers]

The one with all the teeth on the roof of the mouth looks like the beginning of the blackhead video to me.

[KaraOrNot]

That is horrifying.

Oh. Puke.

[shostakovich]

What in the everloving fucking fuck?? No.

[gault]

When these types of things are posted, what goes through my head are coherent thoughts like...

WTFBBQ fucking fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[shostakovich]

Apparently, this freaked me out so much I had to say it twice.

Do we have the same friends?  This just showed up in my feed.  

This makes my mouth hurt.

Wtmfomfgggggg

Okay, I had to research this some more (because, I don't know), and found a case study: link.  And I quote:

"A black girl, aged 11 years 8 months, came for consultation; radiographs
showed 81 teeth: 18 deciduous, 32 permanent, and 31 supernumerary."

First of all: Is it weird that they used black girl, instead of African-American female, in a professional medical publication, or is that just me?

Second of all: 81 TEETH.  81!

This just reminds me if vagina dentata.

[psychmom]

I had no idea this was a thing. It reminds me of the scene in Coneheads when he goes to the dentist to have his teeth capped.

teeah22 Please weigh in on this thread. Have you seen this before? Could that second pic be real? Is there a reason to not just pull all the extra teeth?

[malibu]

I am very annoyed I opened this right before I am about to go to bed.

YES.

[blindyswife]

No. This is not real. Nope. I won't be able to sleep tonight if this is a real thing.

[RoxMonster]

NO no no no no. I don't know why this horrifies me so much.

My brother and I both had extra molars that grew inside of our regular row of teeth. We each had 2, 1 on each side. We had them removed after they grew in.

I also had an eye tooth that was laying on it's side above my other teeth - inside the gums, not exposed. The pulled another tooth to make room for that eye tooth and then ,uses a wire to grab the eye tooth and pull it down in to place. My niece had the same thing but when they pulled her tooth down it didn't have roots and it come out. They had to put a permanent false tooth in for it.I

[MrsStark]

I have hyperdontia.

When I was 6, I had two sets of incisors come in on the top. When I was 8, I had two sets of incisors come in at the bottom. All of the extras were removed. Later on, I had two micro-canines pop up, but they weren't a big deal apparently, so they're still there.

I didn't look closely at the pic but I've seen some of those before, most if not all are fake.  I've seen a few extra teeth, I think the most I saw on one person was maybe 5?  It's really exciting to find an extra tooth actually, I walk around the office showing the xrays to all my coworkers
