It is widely believed that a person can have a maximum of 32 teeth.

In fact, there are people with much more bone formations in their mouth.

The record holder in this regard is Evano Malone from Canada.

This man has… 41 teeth.

Why does the Canadian record holder have so many teeth?

The man was diagnosed with hyperdontia.

Experts have not yet made any final conclusions about the causes of this anatomical anomaly.

But there is a hypothesis: in people with hyperdontia, the process of tooth formation could be disrupted.

It is worth emphasizing that such an anomaly is not so rare: it may have manifested itself in more than 3 percent of people.

Evano Malone has 41 teeth. This figure is officially registered.

So far, no one has "appeared" with more teeth. But it is possible that such people exist.

By the way. Kalana Balan is recognized as the woman with the most teeth. The Indian resident has 38 teeth.

According to the record holder, the extra bone formations do not bother her in any way.
