Abstract
Natal teeth are teeth as present in the mouth at birth. They are rare in occurrence and most frequently occur in the anterior mandible as a pair of primary incisors. They are probably smaller in size and are poorly developed with little or no root formation. The various complications faced by mother as well as infants are difficulty in feeding, severe ulceration of the infant tongue or the mother breast and the risk of aspiration. Under such conditions, the early extraction of the natal tooth is warranted. In case, the natal teeth are firm and asymptomatic, the conservative management is indicated. The article presented a case report wherein two natal teeth were preset in the mandibular incisor region. Because the teeth caused problems in the nursing process and ran a risk of aspiration, they were extracted.
