Bah gum! Baby boy born with two perfect front teeth

Bah gum! Baby boy born with two perfect front teeth - A baby boy surprised his first-time parents when he was born with two fully-formed FRONT TEETH.

Most babies six months to a year to grow their first teeth but Oliver James had two pearly whites from the start.

His parents Joanne Jones, 31, and Lee, 32, said they have already booked their son's first dentists appointment.

First time parents Joanne and Lee Jones had an extra surprise when their son Oliver was born - he had two front teeth

The 7lb 12oz youngster has two front incisors in his lower gums and doctors say the teeth may fall out and be replaced or stay in place as the first of his baby teeth.

Mr and Mrs James, from Haverhill, Cambridgeshire have been inundated with friends and family who are keen to see their firstborn's toothy smile.

Mrs James, a carer, said that they were delighted to have a healthy baby boy and added that his teeth were proving popular with visitors.

She said: 'Oliver is a very, very good baby and it was a complete surprise to see his teeth. 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.

'It was quite comical in the hospital because everyone wanted to come and see Oliver's teeth when they heard about them.

'He has to go back so that they can keep an eye on them. These may be his proper teeth, or he could get three sets.

'If they get wobbly he will have to have them out, but they seem quite solid.'

Oliver was born by caesarean section at the Rosie Maternity Hospital in Cambridge at 3am on December 30.

Perhaps wary of receiving a nasty nick, Joanne decided to feed Oliver by bottle.

Husband Lee, a warehouse worker, told of his surprise when medical staff presented him with his son and pointed out his unusual teeth.

He said: 'As soon as he was born you could see his two front teeth quite clearly, I was quite shocked.'

The couple had been trying to conceive for four years when Joanne fell pregnant with Oliver naturally.

But she spent six weeks of the pregnancy in hospital as she suffered with hyperemesis - or severe morning sickness.

She said: 'I had the worst pregnancy ever, I spent quite a lot of time in hospital on a drip because I was so poorly.

'When I saw Oliver's teeth I thought it must have been because he was teething while he was in there.

'He is just perfect, but we are not planning to have any more. My brother has six children, so he will have plenty of cousins to play with.' ( dailymail.co.uk )
