A natal tooth is one that is already present when a baby is born, while a neonatal tooth comes through in the first month of life, and most are simply part of the normal baby set arriving early. They are uncommon, and the main questions are whether the tooth is loose and whether it is affecting feeding. We have brought everything on this topic together in one complete, up to date guide.
Read the full guide: Natal and Neonatal Teeth: When a Baby Is Born With a Tooth, which covers what these teeth are, feeding and Riga-Fede considerations, and how they are managed.
