most common congenitally missing teeth
The most common permanent teeth to be congenitally missing are: 1 â Wisdom Teeth â The teeth all the way in the back of your mouth. Wisdom teeth account for so many congenitally missing teeth that when you take them out of the equation, the percentage of adults with missing teeth drops from 20% to around 5%. 2 â Second Premolars â The teeth right in front of your molars. If you only have one instead of two, you could either have a congenitally missing tooth or itâs possible that one of your premolars was taken out when you had braces.
