Gingival Cysts of the Newborn
Gingival cysts of the newborn are small whitish or pearly lesions that can appear on the gums of newborns. They are benign formations related to remnants of the development of the mouth.
How they look: They present as tiny smooth spots or nodules on the gum, without causing pain or discomfort to the baby during feeding.
Usual evolution: They usually disappear naturally on their own in the first weeks or months of life, without the need for intervention.
When to consult? Although they generally do not represent a problem, the pediatrician can review them during the baby's check-ups to confirm what they are and reassure the parents. If you observe something different in the newborn's mouth, discussing it at the pediatric review is the most sensible thing.
