Boy with 70 teeth: his teeth have two layers!
A child with 70 teeth named Cynthia has managed to steal the attention of the virtual world recently.
How come? The African boy’s number of teeth far exceeds the normal number of 28 teeth for children, or 32 teeth for adults.
Child with 70 teeth
According to Maria, Cynthia’s mother, the child was born with several abnormalities. He didn’t cry like most babies. He also had difficulty breathing.
Cynthia started having teeth at the age of 3 months, which is quite fast compared to other babies in general who only have teeth at the age of one month.
Now 13 years old, Cynthia is estimated to have 70 teeth which are divided into two layers and distributed irregularly in her mouth. His body is also too small and thin for a 13 year old child.
“ He couldn’t chew food. when you try and put food in his mouth. He even bites your finger, but he can’t chew it. All the food fell from his mouth. “So I fed him while he was sleeping ,” said Maria, as quoted by Afrimax English.
According to the doctor’s examination
Cynthia’s condition was checked at the hospital. Based on the results of the doctor’s examination, it turned out that Cynthia not only had abnormalities in her teeth, but also in her brain. The local medical team could not help him in any way.
Reporting from Kumparan, the abnormality in the number of teeth experienced by Cynthia can also be called hyperdontia, which is a condition that causes too many teeth to grow in the mouth.
The exact cause of hyperdontia is not known, but this disorder may be caused by hereditary conditions and rare genetic disorders.
