There is nothing to worry about it. There is a condition called natal teeth. This is that. It will cause injuries to the child's tongue and lips and will make feeding difficult to the mother as well because of nipple soreness due to sucking.
Therefore it's essential to extract the tooth

Consult a pedodontist. It may not require extraction as if the teeth is sharp, it can be rounded off. And for the pain due to it doc may give you some gel to apply so that it dont pains.
