A member asked:
Is it possible for someone to have only baby teeth as they grow into adulthood?

Some: There are syndromes in which there are no permanent teeth. You should get a panoramic x-ray or image taken to check if there are permanent teeth present in the bone.

Yes.: It is usually common for 1 or more permanent teeth to fail to erupt especially bicuspids. Please click the link below to read the difference between anodontia, hypodontia, and oligodontia.

Anything's possible: It would be highly unusual, however, to not have any of the 32 permanent teeth at all. Please ask your dentist for advice. The record in my office is a young man with only 12 permanent teeth. We optimally aligned those so that he could have the best possible restorations done.
