Se debe consultar a un odontólogo o a un médico si la forma de los dientes del niño parece ser anormal.

Lo que se puede esperar en el consultorio médico:

El odontólogo revisará la boca y los dientes e igualmente hará preguntas acerca de la historia clínica del niño y los síntomas, tales como:

  • ¿Sufre el niño de algún trastorno médico que pueda causar la forma anormal de los dientes?
  • ¿Qué edad tenía cuando aparecieron los dientes?
  • ¿En qué orden aparecieron los dientes?
