JOURNAL TITLE: Journal of Oral Health and Community Dentistry
Cases of infants born with a tooth or teeth or have teeth that erupted within the first month of their birth are rare in occurrence. Teeth present in the oral cavity at birth are termed natal teeth, while those which erupt during the first 30 days of life are called neonatal teeth. Natal and neonatal teeth usually represent units of normal primary dentition, and only 1 to 10% are supernumerary, therefore dentists advise they be left in the mouth to avoid future space management issues. In this case report we represent three cases with two each natal teeth and their long term follow-ups.
