"Worth getting a blood test for it."

Thanks, I'll do that.

Got snaggly, turned or missing teeth? The Finns and Swedes in a comprehensive dental study discovered that Skolt Sa'ami may naturally have some missing teeth. Turns out that by adulthood 18.5% of Skolt are missing one or more adult teeth, and most of them have less than four Wisdom teeth.

What happens is they have some deciduous teeth that don't have an adult tooth form under them and push it out.

All of that answers lots of questions around here ~ can't think of a family member without some problem like that.

The really big discovery is that today's Skolt Sa'ami clearly have larger teeth than their ancestors 200 years back. Their tooth size, if not that of other people, reflects diet. You'd think guys eating lots of reindeer would have plenty of calcium, but they did not, until recently, have the same access as others to plants.
