Why did i have 3 sets of teeth? Is that normal?


Answer:
Genetics, some are congenitally missing some of the permanent teeth, some have extra permanent teeth. I should know since I was one of them, it's referred to as having "supernumerary teeth." Is it normal? It's very common, so you have nothing to worry about. Your orthodontist will review this with you and let you know which will need to be extracted prior to orthodontic treatment. Good luck!
I worked with an oral surgeon for the last 10 years. you would be surprised how may people have multiple sets and how some people don't have any.
It is normal for an Elephant!Just kidding. I am only jealous because I am 31 and will need dentures before I am 40
