Hi,
Natal teeth can cause problems to the mother while feeding and it can cause tongue and lip lacerations in the child ( Riga fede disease) it's not necessary to always extract it. The sharp edges can be rounded off too, or in the worst case we need to extract them. This helps the child to feed well and also less problematic for the mother. Visit your pediatric dentist and get him to decide.
