Prenatal teeth erupts during 1 st month after birth..Natal anterior teeth starts shedding between 6-8yrs & posteriors(molars) shed within 8-12yrs..both natal & prenatal teeth are normal milk tooth(deciduous)
The teeth can be supernumerary also..
Next Steps
till the shedding time if no complications occur for the tooth no need for extraction.. it could affect the permanent tooth bud.. if problem arises extract under pedodontic supervision..
Health Tips
It should not cause lip or tongue biting

Hi practo user,
This seems normal at this age. As the tooth erupts the jaw bone grows. She will be having upper 10 and lower 10. Still 8 more to erupt. Nothing to be worried
Next Steps
Please share pic for confirmation. This is time for her first dental visit. Clean her teeth with gauze regularly.
Health Tips
Give her the teething objects ( better cool it before you give), so that it would ease her discomfort during eruption.
