Shark teeth refer to a condition wherein a child develops two rows of teeth in their mouth- the original primary or baby teeth and an extra set of incoming permanent teeth.
Under normal circumstances, children begin to lose their baby teeth at an age of around 5 to 7. The process of loss of baby teeth is directly proportional to its development. The earlier the baby teeth develop, the earlier they fall out. The order of fall depends on the order they came in and it normally starts with the center tooth.
How do Shark Teeth Occur?
Sometimes the original baby teeth won’t budge and child’s permanent set of teeth begin to develop. As a result to accommodate this new set of permanent teeth, another row of teeth is developed. The child’s permanent teeth are forced out of position, leading to future problems.
