The parents of a baby boy born with teeth will have to take special care of their son's mouth to ensure he does not end up needing emergency dentistry work.
Joanne and Lee Jones are proud parents of their first child, Oliver James, who shocked everyone at the Rosie Maternity Hospital in Cambridge when he was born with two teeth on December 30th 2010.
Mum Joanne said that it was "a complete surprise" to see that Oliver had two teeth when he was born.
"They are not little stumps, they are proper teeth. It is not unknown for babies to be born with teeth, but it is extremely rare," she commented.
Oliver James will now have to go back to the hospital so staff can keep an eye on his teeth and avoid emergency dentistry in the future.
The Daily Mail reported in December that Patricia Caulfield, 25, gave birth to a baby girl with formed teeth. Baby Faye was born three weeks early and has two teeth on her bottom gum.
