Sometimes a baby is born with teeth or for some babies, the teeth come within the first month after birth. These teeth do not have any root structure and are at very high risk of falling out and blocking their airway. It could trigger a spasm that would block their breathing and possibly could result in death. If the neonatal teeth are wobbly and at risk of falling out then it is recommended that they be removed. This is a decision made by consulting pediatricians and dentists.
