Disease description:

The doctor told me two days ago that I have supernumerary teeth. Do supernumerary teeth always need to be extracted?

Whether supernumerary teeth must be extracted depends on the symptoms present. If a patient with supernumerary teeth exhibits no symptoms, extraction is generally unnecessary. However, if crowding of adjacent teeth occurs, extraction can be performed at a reputable hospital. Supernumerary teeth may also cause toothache or malocclusion. For toothache, oral amoxicillin capsules may be prescribed by a physician. For malocclusion, orthodontic treatment (e.g., braces or other corrective procedures) may be recommended.
