Shocking! Doctors extract 7 teeth from a 1 month old baby in India.

Doctors in the western Indian state of Gujarat have successfully extracted seven teeth from a one-month old infant report BBC

"The baby is doing fine now," dental surgeon Dr Meet Ramatri, who carried out the operation in August said.

He said that the procedure was carried out in two stages. They first extracted four teeth, and then the other three.

The baby's teeth were discovered a few days after his birth.

His parents took him to a paediatrician when he had difficulty breastfeeding.

Upon examining the infant, the paediatrician found white tissue in his mouth and referred the family to Dr Ramatri.

He's so lovely

"When I examined him, I found that he had seven teeth," Dr Ramatri said.

"Sometimes you see tips (of the teeth) in newborns but they don't grow for a while. In this case, the teeth were fully out."

While Dr Ramatri said he had not read about a case like this before, he felt that it was not necessarily abnormal.

"It is a normal biological process. It happened early in this case," he said.
