Deformed (Hutchinson) Teeth and Saber Shins
Longer-lasting infections that have gone undetected and/or untreated can damage the bones of the developing infant. This is a result of the immune system working on overdrive while the body is fighting the syphilis. The damage can leave the front incisor teeth with notches in the middle. This can make the tooth appear as though it’s splitting in two. Shin bones can also be affected, leaving them sharp and pointed rather than rounded.
