Considerations
Natal teeth are relatively uncommon, appearing in about one in every 2,000 to 3,000 births.
Although most natal teeth are isolated incidents, their presence may be associated with
certain medical syndromes.

Natal teeth generally develop on the lower gum, where the central incisor teeth
will appear. They have little root structure and are attached to the end of the gum by
soft tissue and are often wobbly.

Natal teeth are usually not well formed, but they are firm enough that, because of their
placement, they may cause irritation and injury to the infant's tongue when nursing.
Natal teeth may also be uncomfortable for a nursing mother.

Frequently, natal teeth are removed shortly after birth while the newborn infant is still in the hospital,
especially if the tooth is loose and the child runs a risk of aspiration, or "breathing in" the tooth.

If the teeth are not removed, keep them clean by gently wiping the gums and teeth with a
clean, damp cloth. Examine the infant's gums and tongue frequently to make sure the teeth
are not causing injury.

with natal teeth, examination and testing for that condition will be performed.

Management of natal teeth.
1. Obtain dental radiographs whenever possible before removing natal
teeth in order to better advise the parents of complications.
2. Leave natal teeth in the mouth as long as possible in order to decrease the
likelihood of removing permanent tooth buds with the natal tooth.
3. Obtain the parents' consent and rule out neonatal
hypoprothrombinemia before removing natal teeth.

Natal teeth: a review.
The incidence of natal teeth is approximately 1:2,000 to 1:3,000 live
births. The most commonly affected teeth are the lower primary central
incisors. Natal teeth usually occur in pairs. The eruption of more than two
natal teeth is rare.
births. The most commonly affected teeth are the lower primary central
incisors. Natal teeth usually occur in pairs. The eruption of more than two
natal teeth is rare.
The majority of natal teeth represent the early eruption of normal
primary deciduous dentition. Less than 10% of natal teeth are
supernumerary. Natal teeth might resemble normal primary dentition in
size and shape; however, the teeth are often smaller, conical and yellowish,
and have hypoplastic enamel and dentin with poor or absent root formation.

Complications include discomfort during suckling, sublingual ulceration,
laceration of the mother's breasts and aspiration of the teeth. A dental
roentgenogram is indicated to differentiate the premature eruption of a
primary tooth from a supernumerary tooth.

Tooth extraction is indicated if the tooth is supernumerary or excessively
mobile. If the tooth does not interfere with breastfeeding and is
otherwise asymptomatic, no treatment is necessary
