I was an April fool this year. On my April 1 blog I talked about hyperdontia as a friend had sent me a very cool photo of what I thought was hyperdontia, but it was a fake. Dr. Urban could tell right away, and now that he’s pointed it out I can see it too.
I also went back online to see who else noted that it was a fake and found the proof in the photo here. You can see how they took images of the same tooth and pasted them in again and again. Now I can see it with the incisors as well.
One of the reasons I like the photo so much was the same reason Dr. Urban could see it was a fake. The teeth are very pretty. They are all well formed. In hyperdontia cases usually the tooth is in the wrong place or malformed.
So if you’d like a dentist with a keen eye, who can pick out a fake a mile away, give us a call.
Thank you so much for calling it out as a fake. I’ve been having nightmares about this picture!
