Natal Teeth

by Kids Discover

Most babies come into the world without teeth, but about one in every 2,000-3,000 is born with choppers. Natal teeth usually grow on lower gums and are often removed, since they aren’t rooted firmly. Some babies develop neonatal teeth, which grow in within a month after birth.
