The most common type of supernumerary tooth is a mesiodens, which is located in the maxillary central incisor region. The prevalence of mesiodens varies between different racial groups and in the Indian population varies between 0.3% and 3.8% with a higher frequency in men than in women in the ration of 2:1. We report a case of a 12 year old child in the mixed dentition stage with two conical mesiodentes present palatal to 11 and 21 resulting in proclination of the maxillary central incisors and difficulty in speech. Following clinical and radiographic examination to assess the position of the mesiodente and its relation to the incisors, the supernumerary teeth were extracted under local anaesthesia.
