Abstract

It is unusual for babies to have teeth at birth or within a month of delivery. For a good differential diagnosis of whether there are extra teeth, Bhon nodules, or dental lamina cysts, a proper clinical and radiographic examination is required. The clinic branch received a rare case of natal teeth for this report's subject. An 18-day-old male new-born was checked because he had two mandibular incisor natal teeth. Because of the risk of aspiration and the patient's refusal to eat, the movable teeth had to be removed. Each patient is assessed individually to determine the best course of treatment, which may involve observation, tooth whitening, or extraction.
