The presence of teeth at birth (natal teeth) or within 30 days after birth (neonatal teeth) is a rare condition. Both general dentist and pediatric dentist are involved in the supervision or treatment of patients with natal and neonatal teeth. It causes difficulty in feeding to the infant, sublingual ulceration, laceration of the mother’s breasts and also possesses the danger of accidental aspiration.This article presents a case report where the natal teeth were extracted due to the risk of aspiration.
