I have teeth in my gums that have seemed to stop growing. how do i tell if they are delayed?

Interesting question: At age 42, eruption of the teeth has long stopped. So is it that the teeth have stopped growing or is the gum tissue overgrowing the teeth. I would strongly recommend that you have things evaluated by a dentist to give you more detailed answers.

Delayed teeth: By x ray. Then your dentist will evaluate them.
