I added an "unreferenced" template, because the statement "Hyperdontia was a common genetic trait among certain Native American tribes (...) with every individual (...) having a full double set of teeth" seems a bit dubious to me, I think I need to see a source for that.

I find many disease listings on Wikipedia love to attribute a lesser percentage of occurance to 'Europeans' whilst assigning a higher percentage to blacks or asians. Cut the crap please.

• Does this refer to a syndrome known as "Shark teeth". How does one develop a double set of teeth? Responses will be appreciated.

I have never heard of "shark teeth" before, but it is not uncommon to see children with two rows of teeth (front row being baby teeth and back row being adult teeth) when the adult teeth are just beginning to come into the mouth. When this happens, this does not usually last very long because most baby teeth are going to fall out on their own, and if not a dentist will just pluck them out. - Dozenist talk 18:50, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
