My sons right lateral incisor looks like two teeth. I can't remember what his dentist called it. The size of the "two teeth" is the size of his left lateral incisor. His dentist said it is not 2 teeth joined together b/c the canine teeth come in later(He's only 17 months old). Anyone know what this is called? I've never seen or heard of it. I've tried searching different things. I can't find any info. : /

Why not just ask your dentist?
Also, ask him to swear on oath : "My Lord, I will only pull out the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth!"
