Is it possible for a 55 year old man to have a new tootChatDoctore in naturally Is it possible for a 55 year old man to have a new tootChatDoctore in naturally? I just had a back lower left tooth extracted 2 weeks ago. It appears that a tooth is trying to come in in the space in front of it where I had a tooth pulled a few years ago. It looks just like a tooth that is covered with gumline so far but it is protruding to a height of half a tooth so far. Am I seeing things? What else could it be?
Dear James, what you are seeing possibly could be a supernumerary tooth (an extra tooth int he mouths apart from 32 natural teeth), or it can a bony spicule, it could also be an anomalous tooth like structure (odontoid). You must see a dentist get your self examined, get an x-ray done. Rest will be fine. Do not worry. Once u get an x-ray if u wish u can send that to me on my mail- kakajuneja@yahoo.com
