Three days after delivery, the mother took the baby to see the pediatric dentist. There, she discovered that Arthur had no baby teeth, but actually a different gum formation, so no abnormalities.Â
“The mother came in saying, ‘My son was born with a tooth. I said: it happens. The mother said: but there are six teeth!. Then I said: this is not normal,” explained specialist Regina Raffaele to g1.
The health professional further explained that the appearance of a tooth occurs when the gum tissue is pressed. “Then, when it vascularizes, it goes back to normal.”
The expert emphasized that there is no cause for concern and that Arthur will develop his teeth naturally.
