Natal Tooth-An Overview and A Case Report

Anil Patil*

Natal and neonatal teeth represent an uncommon anomaly amongst different racial and ethnic groups. A paediatrician and a paediatric dentist should work as a team since the presence of natal tooth may lead to numerous complications. Also, diagnosis and proper treatment planning of these teeth are recommended because they may result in injury to the tongue, inadequate nutrition intake leading to malnutrition and growth retardation. This paper presents a case report and a concise overview of the literature on natal teeth.
