I have a very large forehead, so does my Dad, but we were born that way. My sister's kids have large foreheads too, especially her unusually small son, and they both have dental enamel hypoplasia! Yikes!!

But the research says the forehead gets larger over time, it's not something that is seen in children, so I'm confused.

Check out this discussion. It seems I have the classic celiac "look": large forehead and prominent cheek bones and jaw! I just thought this was from my Swedish lineage from my Dad. Of course Swedes have some of the highest rates of celiac in the world.

Yup, I've got the high forehead as well. My hair stylist is always suggesting bangs to hide it.

I have a FIVEhead, and dental enamel hypoplasia. Didn't know either were indicative of potential CD. Interesting post!

I have always worn bangs to cover the forehead. I am short and have dental enamel hypoplasia.

Large forehead here too - always wear bangs. Large head size, too, for a woman - 7 1/8. And definitely dental enamel hypoplasia.

Interesting!!!

I've always had to wear bangs, and I have a large head for a woman too. My son's head size is 90th percentile while his height and weight are 10th percentile. I thought it had to do with all the extra brain power we have

Very interesting! I always thought it was just a genetic thing I inherited …… but then celiac is genetic, so I guess they go hand-in-hand. My forehead could be used as billboard space; it's one of the reasons I've always had bangs…
