Natal teeth are defined as teeth that are present in the mouth at the time of birth, presence of which may interfere with breast feeding. A newborn, a 7 days old male, with two mandibular incisor natal teeth was examined. The teeth were mobile and were extracted because of the fear of aspiration and refusal to feed. The purpose of this report is to review the literature related to natal teeth and discuss their possible etiology and treatment. Top Keywords Deciduous, Dentition, Natal Teeth, Mandibular incisor.
