ABSTRACT
The presence of natal teeth (at birth) or neonatal teeth (within a month of delivery) is a rare condition. This report discusses a newborn female, at birth, with one mandibular incisor tooth. The teeth were mobile and were extracted because of the fear of aspiration and difficulty in feeding. The purpose of this report is to review the literature related to natal teeth and discuss their possible etiology and treatment.
Keywords: natal teeth, aspiration
