I have a 15 year old daughter that is in pain all the time. She has an unusual dental problem.Most people are born with two sets of teeth. Well we assume they will develop them. My daughter however has not stopped developing them. Her adult teeth fall out and more come in. It is like she is teething all the time. The dentist tells us there is nothing he can do. We have to take her and have some pulled about once every two monts to make room for the others. Has anyone else heard of this and if so could you give me some advise. I need to know what you think.

I haven't been through this and have never even heard of it. Just wanted to say I hope things turn out okay. Hopefully at some point they'll stop, but wow. How long has this been going on? Have you talked to your doctor about it as opposed to just your dentist? I would be interested to hear more about it since I've just never heard of it. Good luck and keep us posted.

We have talked to the doctor and all they say is it seems for some reason her body doesn't know it already has all the teeth it is supposed to so it continues to develop more.

I haven't heard of anything like that before, have you done any research online, or requested seeing some sort of specialist?
