Abstract:

Natal or neonatal teeth seem to be a rare phenomenon in newborns. It is commonly thought that extracting those teeth is a reasonable choice to comfort the mother and the baby during breastfeeding. However, in such cases, the pediatric dentist must be solicited for further exploration and suitable management. We reported on a one month baby girl with neonatal teeth conserved and followed up during the first year of life.

Keywords: Neonatal teeth, newborn, management, complication.
