How many of you have or had extra teeth? I mean how many of you had an adult tooth come in and then another behind that?
Me- Both front teeth had an extra tooth (removed surgically). All 4 canines of mine also had extra teeth.
My grandfather had the exact same extra set of teeth but noone else in my family did.
I had a double row of bottom incisors when I was 7-8 years old. That is to say, My four bottom primary teeth were joined by their successors directly in back. Candy always got stuck in there.
Interesting.
What I mean is having 1 baby tooth then 2 adult teeth for the same tooth.
Ah, a second dentition. Sorry about that.
I only had 3 wisdom teeth, not 4. If anyone has any extra teeth, send one my way.
My ex-boyfriend had extra teeth near the front section that screwed up the alignment of the rest of his teeth. Those got pulled. Later on, some more teeth came in and screwed up the alignment of his teeth again. Sheesh… I dunno how that one works, but hopefully when he gets those teeth pulled, more won’t grow back in their place.

I had two sets “double teeth”. I had them removed when I was 7 or 8, though.
Apparently my grandfather-in-law had all his teeth removed in preparation for a set of falsies - and got quite a surprise when they all grew back a while later!
I had EIGHT impacted wisdom teeth taken out. Nothing has felt really painful to me since then.
I am currently in possession of all 33 adult teeth. two wisdoms on top left I think. It really blew when dentist’s mind when he discovered it in the x-ray. He wanted to remove it. I didn’t return to the dentist. 
Hey, me too! I also had an extra canine tooth which I had to have pulled before I got braces as a kid.
No extra teeth, but I had only three wisdom teeth, all of which are gone now. I’ve seen my x-rays and there’s nothing else hanging around down in there to give me trouble. 
I’m feeling a little cheated right now. I only have 23 teeth, and apparently some of you got extras.
I had two extra incisors. Strangely, my sister was two short and she was mad at me for taking hers.
I’m not sure if I actually had any extra in total; About twice as many adult molars as normal erupted on my lower left jaw, none at all erupted on my lower right (the dentist said at the time that it seemed plausible that something got a little mixed up early on and the cells that would become my adult lower molars all ended up on the one side).
There was nothing to push out my milk teeth on the lower right side and I still have one milk tooth there (I’m 35 years old now).
Just a question: why would anyone have extra teeth removed? It seems like it couldn’t hurt to have a spare set…
Because they move the s**t out of all the rest, Quonk, and that craps out your bite. I only had one wisdom tooth (go figure, duh) but it played havoc with the rest of the teeth alignment on my upper jaw. Had it pulled.
I wonder which is more common, extra teeth or “missing” teeth? My dentist was quite upset the first time I had teeth x-rays taken (I was probably 5 or so) because the x-rays showed that I was going to be short one permenent tooth. My mom is missing the same one, so she wasn’t really surprised. I did keep the baby tooth until it cracked in two and had to be pulled when I was 19, though; that surprised a whole new dentist
I’ve got all the regular teeth and there are 4 wisdom teeth just waiting to cause trouble (my dad only had three, so I obviously didn’t get his teeth), but the strangest thing was a tiny “mini-tooth” in the back of my mouth. It was about the size of the end of a toothpick, and IIRC, it was like a tiny little molar. My dad pulled it out with a pair of pliers when I was about 7. He didn’t realize that it was actually a tiny tooth until it came out. We both thought it was something that was stuck into my gum. Kind of weird.
Youch, mirror.
