82 year old man having brand new erupting tooth !
“The 82-year-old retired PENSIONER John Giblin from Faversham awoke to find he'd grown a new tooth two months ago.
John, who used to pick hops in Faversham, moved from London to Somerville Close two years ago. He says it's now just a matter of waiting for an appointment to get the offending incisor removed.
John says he has no idea why he grew another tooth so late in life, and admits he didn't look after them when he was young.We wish John well and hope he receives a visit from the tooth fairy some time soon.” Source- Here & here
We know about the teeth that are present at the time of birth Natal teeth Or Errupt in first month after birth Neo natal teeth.
Definition: Teeth that are present at birth are natal teeth, and teeth that emerge through the gingiva during the first month of life are neonatal teeth. Source- here
But here in case of Mr. John Giblin from Faversham the tooth eruption is so late that we can say in age of being edentulous he is having eruption of incisor. this is either a case of delayed eruption or over Retentive incisor or may be a supernumerary malposed tooth. We are not confirmed what it is exactly.
If anyone having some more information please share
