When we are growing up in the city of Leeds, our teeth go through many changes and probably one of the most delicate times is when the milk teeth fall out and our secondary teeth come through. This is a fairly natural process and normally would not pose any real problems as the original roots should dissolve allowing the first teeth to fall out on their own accord. But this doesn’t always go smoothly in everyone and occasionally, the roots will remain in the jawbone and this will deform the secondary tooth when it starts to come through, leading to a condition known as ankylosis. There can be many causes of this, diet, inflammation, or it could be that is inherited, but by this time it is normally too late to worry about the causes and get on with solving the problem. A dental x-ray will reveal the extent of the problem and then your dentist can get to work on removing the problem. This will take surgery to do but it needs to be done so that your secondary teeth are free to grow straight and true and be free from further complications in the future.
