Supernumerary teeth: Are not that uncommon. I see several cases every month. Assuming you have no other medical conditions or syndromes, we do not exactly know what really leads to supernumerary tooth formation.

Extra teeth: Not that uncommon. Please see an oral surgeon for evaluation. They probably need removal.
