some infants are born with one or more teeth (called natal teeth) or may have teeth emerge within the first 30 days of life (called neonatal teeth). these usually are either extra teeth or are remnants from neonatal development that do not need treatment. if they are however actual teeth it's a good idea to maintain them. your doctor however may recommend removing them if the teeth are loose and pose a danger of being inhaled by your baby. early teeth may also interfere with feeding or irritate your baby's tongue. talk to your doctor to see what treatment is right for your baby.
what should i do if my baby was born with teeth?
