Hi. Please observe the natal teeth and look for any loosening of the teeth, colour changes in the gums or any swelling in that region. The most common problem it causes is interference during feeding and therefore refusal to take milk.
Next Steps
If you find any of the changes observed, kindly take your baby to a paediatric dentist. After thorough direct examination the dentist will decide if it has to be pulled out. Kindly proceed the treatment by taking a routine blood test to check for the clotting factor. In certain cases vitamin k has to be given to prevent the risk of heavy bleeding
Health Tips
With a gentle finger pressure check if the tooth is firm, sharp.Make sure to clean the area with a finger wrapped with gauze or clean cloth. Don’t have to worry. Take care

Hello. If the teeth are moving get them removed from a Paediatric Dentist as soon as possible. The mobile teeth can get dislodged and the child can accidentally swallow it.
Next Steps
visit a Paediatric Dentist
