Abstract:
A case of natal teeth in a four-day-old female brought by a forty four year old mother is presented. These natal teeth were present in the upper and lower jaws. Of special interest was the shape and positions of these especially the upper tooth in the left canine region and the fact that these teeth were present in a child with Down's syndrome features. The anxiety of the mother and the desire to get them removed immediately underlines the superstition and misconceptions with which natal teeth are viewed. The multidisciplinary approach to management is also highlighted.
