I am very concerned....my friends baby was born premature at only 30 weeks. He was just released from the nicu and sent home a week ago... with 2 bottom teeth!?! Now, just this morning, those 2 teeth fell out and there is 3 more in their place!!! I have never heard of something sooo crazy. The babies father was born with 1 tooth but he did not have five at only 1 week old. We are bringing him to a pediatric dentist in Albany, NY today, but I am so worried because the dentist has never heard of such a thing. He said hes heard of being born with 1 or 2 but not having 5. Please help!!!
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that your friends' son is born with Neonatal teeth that are teeth preset at the time of birth and needs to be removed within a week after birth. As there are three that have erupted now seems to be Natal teeth that erupts within one week of birth. They are generally harmless and does not get disturbances in the eruption of milk teeth or permanent teeth if removed with caution to prevent removal of permanent tooth buds. But the condition needs to be evaluated as they can be related to certain syn Chat Doctor. . Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
