Does this always mean you have congenital syphilis? I ask because my 4 front teeth have small notches..
 
I think that it might be possible to achieve a similar effect by repeatedly biting particular things (e.g. pens, seeds) or holding things between your front teeth (pins and needles while sewing, nails while doing construction, bobby-pins while putting your hair up, etc.) Where’s the resident dentist? @fancymylotus

Seems to me like you need to have a talk with your mom.

I still have them and I wouldn't call myself young at all. They are less prominent than they were though. And I will be very angry at the years I was in braces if my teeth are misaligned. Are there any other reasons?

Again, not dental advice.

Thats usually the main reason. And a lot of the time, even if your teeth look perfectly aligned to your eye, they may not actually be. I would suggest talking to your dentist.

Thank you @fancymylotus . I'm not actually worried about my bumpy incisors, I was just curious. Thank you for your non-dental advice.

If you're going into ENT, you gotta learn all about mamelons. Learn to love the mamelons.

Not sure why. Something to do with determining occlusion...

Or why I never touched an ed patient with teeth problems on my ed rotation. I was like "noooooope. I'm just gonna end up pissing off dental."

I don't mind dealing with the patients and I actually usually enjoy working with OMFS/dental. It's just the reading. Like I'll be really interested reading about tumors of the H+N, but once it gets to odontogenic cancers it's like ameloblastozzzzzzzz....
