K00-K14: Diseases of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws
K00: Disorders of tooth development and eruption
Disorders of tooth development and eruption, or dental disorders, are a group of conditions affecting the formation and growth of teeth. These conditions usually develop during childhood, when the teeth are still forming. Causes can range from genetics, nutritional deficiencies, infections, or trauma to the mouth. The conditions can lead to symptoms such as missing or extra teeth, abnormal size or shape of teeth, delayed eruption, or teeth coming in the wrong position. Most of these disorders are not contagious as they are often linked to individual characteristics or specific circumstances. Over time, these dental disorders can adversely affect oral health, leading to problems in eating and speech, and affecting the overall structure of the face and mouth. It's important to remember that early and regular dental check-ups may help to detect and manage these conditions.
