Most mothers start an emergency dentistry prevention regime for their babies when teeth erupt after around six months, but one woman has had to begin hers much earlier.
A day after giving birth to her daughter Faye, 25-year-old Patricia Caulfield was astonished to find that the baby had two full front teeth poking out of her lower gum.
"My midwife told me this is really rare. Children are sometimes born with buds but hardly ever full teeth," the young mum told the Daily Mail.
What's more, Faye now has another set of molars at the back of her mouth. Ms Caulfield is now helping to stop her child from needing emergency dentistry in the future by brushing them carefully.
She also has to keep an eye on them in case they become wobbly.
Last month, Miriam Stoppard said in an article for the Mirror that it is important to look after children's milk teeth, as it is these which will help guide their adult teeth into the right positions.
