A rare congenital condition in which a person is born without any teeth.
From Greek an- (without) + odous (tooth) + -ia (medical condition suffix). Medical term combining the root for 'toothless' with the suffix for disease or condition.
Anodontia is so rare that dental schools might only teach about it theoretically—but people with this condition have developed amazing adaptive strategies, from eating soft foods to using advanced prosthetics that restore full function!
