normal...no, but like i explained in aother answer, extra teeth are created by epithelial pearls. the epithelial pearls come from the degeneration of the dental lamina in your mouth when your were a foetus. usually the destruction is complete, but in your case, i guess the destruction wasnt done well. (cause by traumatism?)

I have known people who have extra teeth. My sister had one grow thru the roof of her mouth when she was a teenager. It was right behind her front teeth. It was pulled as soon as it was seen on an x-ray. I worked with a guy who looked like he had a whole second row of teeth. It was a little strange looking. So it happens but, you should have them removed. I will assume you are under 25. I will also assume that they will stop coming in by that point. I know it stinks and I know it's painful to have them removed. Good luck.

I believe a person can have up to 8 wisdom teeth, so... it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

Freddie Mercury was famous for having extra teeth, and he is from the band Queen(they wrote the song "We Will Rock You"). Heh, thank my brother for talking about him all the time.

FACT: WISDOM TEETH ERUPT BETWEEN THE AGES OF 17 AND 25. BEFORE AN ADULT DENTITION IS COMPLETE ALL OF THE DECIDUOUS (baby teeth) HAVE T BE LOST. THERE ARE OCCASIONALLY SUPERNUMERARY TEETH (REAL EXTRA TEETH), BUT USUALLY ONE OR TWO.

when i was little, i cracked my head open and i had an xray and i found out i had three extra rows of teeth. i wouldnt worry about it because my teeth look fine.

hey, if they all fit in your mouth and aren't causing you any pain, then great ....if they are causing you pain/grief and your doctor is concerned..then i'd be worried :)
