Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Dentigerous

👉 The term "dentigerous" is a medical term that refers to a condition where an individual's teeth are missing, but they remain firm and strong. This can occur due to various reasons such as tooth decay, gum disease, or trauma to the jawbone. Dentigerous teeth are typically found in children and adolescents, although adults may also have them. The condition is characterized by a lack of soft tissue around the teeth, making it difficult for them to be chewed or crushed.
