Hi, my family has a history of missing teeth and I had 11 implants when I reached adulthood. My daughter luckily got my wife’s genes and is only missing one or two. My son, however, only has 4 adult teeth. The baby teeth that he has are very small! I’m not even sure where to start. The pediatric dentist that informed us of his situation was blown away and basically had no idea on what to do. Any good suggestions on where to start? Any good resources in Utah for this situation?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Where in Utah are you located? We just moved away, but had a good team that was helping us as we started the journey. My son has only 6 adult teeth, but was missing all but 8 baby teeth as well.

If you have a local children's hospital, you could see their pediatric dentistry or craniofacial team.
