BILATERAL FIRST PRIMARY MOLAR NEONATAL TEETH COMPLICATED BY LARYNGOMALACIA

*Anum Khan and Ghaida Al-Jaddir

ABSTRACT

A rare phenomenon of teeth eruption in new-borns is called natal (when erupted and present at birth) or neonatal teeth (erupting in the first month after birth). This report details a case of a prematurely erupted primary molar tooth in her upper right quadrant in a 3 weeks old female, along with the predicted eruption of further neonatal teeth. The management plan for these neonatal teeth is tailored to address individual concerns such as mobility, feeding difficulties, and airway risks.
