Please stop worrying. Gardner syndrome is a rare, inherited condition where people develop hundreds and sometimes thousands of abnormal growths in their large and small intestines. These growths, called polyps, are noncancerous at first, but some have an almost 100% chance of becoming cancerous. Answer id NO!

The number of people in the population with supernumerary (extra) teeth is very small. The number of people with Gardner's Syndrome's exceptionally rare. Please, make a list of your questions and then schedule an Examination and Consultation with a specialist Oral Surgeon, a wisdom tooth expert.
