Dientes fetales

Cuidados en el hogar:

En caso de que los dientes no sean extraídos después del nacimiento, se les debe hacer una limpieza continua pasando suavemente un paño limpio y húmedo sobre ellos y sobre las encías. Se recomienda examinar la lengua y las encías del bebé constantemente para cerciorarse de que los dientes no estén causando ninguna lesión.

Se debe llamar al médico si:

Se debe consultar con el médico si un bebé con dientes natales desarrolla úlceras en la boca o en la lengua u otros síntomas.

Lo que se puede esperar en el consultorio médico:

Este hallazgo generalmente lo hace el médico durante una evaluación inicial del bebé y, con frecuencia, no se necesita más documentación distinta simplemente a dejar constancia que se presentaron dientes al nacer.

Se puede pensar en tomar radiografías dentales. Si hay signos de cualquier afección que pueda estar asociada con los dientes natales, se llevarán a cabo la evaluación y los exámenes correspondientes para dicha afección.
