These additional teeth are called supernumerary teeth and can occur in both children and adults. They are most commonly found in the upper jaw and may either erupt into the mouth or remain hidden beneath the gums. Some cases of hyperdontia do not cause noticeable symptoms, while others can affect normal tooth eruption, alignment, and oral hygiene.

One possible cause is the overactivity of the dental lamina , the tissue involved in tooth formation. A family history of extra teeth may also increase the likelihood of developing hyperdontia.
