Call your health care provider if:

If the shape of your child's teeth appears to be abnormal, consult a dentist or other health care provider.

What to expect at your health care provider's office:

The dentist will examine the mouth and teeth. You will be asked questions about your child's medical history and symptoms, such as:

• Does the child have any medical conditions that may cause abnormal tooth shape?
• At what age did the teeth appear?
• In what order did the teeth appear?
• Are there other tooth problems (color, spacing)?
• What other symptoms are also present?

Diagnostic tests that may be performed may include dental x-rays.
