First year of child development is marked by many changes of which eruption of first tooth into the oral cavity is considered an important milestone. It has shown to follow a chronology and has been established in the literature corresponding to the date when tooth erupts into the oral cavity. Depending on hereditary, endocrine and environmental factors they may be subjected to variations. However, at times, chronology of tooth eruption suffers a more significant alteration in terms of onset, with the teeth being present at birth or arise during the first month of life poses greater concern due to feeding difficulties along with societal unpleasant reaction towards it. Objective of this paper is to present case series of natal and neonatal teeth with considerations in the management.
