What is it torroid? It's more prevalent amongst Asians?
Yeah, I don't know, I inherited this knowledge or ignorance.
Well apparently I can't find anything for a common term except for 'supernumerary' and apparently yes the condition of hyperdontia is more prevalent amongst Asians and Native Americans.
"The reported incidence of supernumerary teeth ranges 0.3–1.7% of the population with greater frequency in Asians and Native Americans.1 According to previous studies, supernumerary teeth more frequently found in permanent dentition with a male predilection."
