My son has 2 teeth fused together?

Has anyone ever heard of this? Will his permanent teeth grow in this way?

My son has 2 teeth fused together?
This is not on common. It is called either gemination (if the teeth are different) or twinning (if the second tooth is an extra one). It is a developmental anomaly, not a genetic problem. It is very unlikely that the permanent teeth will be similarly affected.


If you are very concerned you could see a Pediatric Dentist who would take an x-ray of the area to evaluate the developing permanent teeth.
Reply:I hope not! My daughter just lost her 'fused teeth'. Her dentist never seemed concerned about it!!!
Reply:The likelihood of the permanent teeth coming in the same way is very small, have some x-rays taken, they may be able to see the permanent teeth. Depending on how old your son is. It should put your mind at ease.
