Abstract
Most babies, new-borns, get their first tooth between 5 and
8 months of age. The first teeth that poke through the gums are
the central incisors, which are located on the bottom front. While
most infants get their first teeth months after birth, some babies
are born with one or more teeth. These are called natal teeth. Natal
teeth are relatively rare [1]. Most studies however give an incidence
between 1 in 2000 to 1 in 3500 live births. The incidence probably
varies between different racial groups, with some American Indian
tribes reported to commonly present with natal teeth. Statistical
significance between regions is yet to be shown. [2] Natal teeth are
said to be three times more common than neonatal teeth [3].
