i still have many of my baby teeth at 30

Q. I am in my early 30’s and still have many of my baby teeth. Is this an indication that I have a vitamin deficiancy? Should I be concerned? Outside of my crazy looking smile, my mouth seems to be okay even though I only have those itty bitty baby teeth in place of man-sized adult teeth.

A. This is not an indication of vitamin deficiancy but likely caused by the adult teeth just not developing under your remaining baby teeth to “push” the baby teeth out.
