Yet Another “Natal tooth” management done at Thanjai Dental Centre

Most babies usually get their first tooth at 5 – 8 months, but sometimes babies are born with teeth! They are called natal teeth and occur in approximately 1 in 3000 births. If the teeth appear within the first month or so after birth, they are termed neonatal teeth.

Often, the lower two front teeth are seen. They can appear like normal teeth, or be underdeveloped, appearing small, yellow and rounded in shape.

Here are a few potential problems associated with natal teeth:

If the tooth or teeth are very loose, the teeth should be extracted because of the risk of the baby swallowing or aspirating the teeth.
A natal tooth could cause problems with breastfeeding or irritate the bottom of a baby’s tongue, causing an ulcer. These may require smoothing of the tooth’s surface or extraction
