Kiwi Kids News - Baby with two fully grown teeth

Baby Rose Pullen stunned midwives after born with 2 fully formed teeth!

Rose was born at University Hospital of Wales on August 22, and immediately drew a lot of attention with her rare toothy smile.

About 1 in every 3000 babies are born with formed teeth, with most babies teething around 6 months old.

Rose’s mum, Chloe, was shocked when her husband told her that their newborn daughter already had teeth, and the midwives had never seen anything like it before.

However, Chloe did some research and found that her grandmother was born with a front tooth so believes that Rose may have inherited this quirky birth feature from her!

For health reasons and to allow for a normal teething process, Rose’s teeth were removed by doctors when she was a few weeks old.
