Reply:I%26#039;m just missing two front teeth. Check with your family on both sides as far back as you can. My missing teeth are hereditary. No, it%26#039;s not normal to have only that amount of teeth on the top. Sometimes, though, the tooth just won%26#039;t pop out of the gum, and the dentist will either cut away some of the gum so you have some tooth exposed, or she/he will just pull down the tooth, don%26#039;t worry, you would be numbed. And if no one in our family is missing any one of those, ask your dentist to give x-rays to see if you actually have them or not.
