Did you know that for every 4000 babies born, 2 of them have teeth already?
These are called "Natal Teeth", they could be extra teeth or just ordinary baby teeth. The reason for this to occur is not yet clear. 85% of all natal teeth are lower central incisors, 11% are upper incisors, 3% are lower canine and molars, and 1% are upper canines and molars. Breastfeeding can be difficult since babies have the tendency to bite while sucking. Ouch!
Sadly, in the old days; babies born with tooth/teeth were killed because they were thought to be demons!
Good thing that this do not happen anymore today.
This is just as surprising as when we told you that mosquitos have teeth!
