What baby was born with the most teeth?

Published in Medical History 1 min read

The baby born with the most teeth was Sean Keaney, who was born in the United Kingdom in 1990 with 12 teeth. These teeth were later extracted to prevent potential nursing complications.

While the existence of natal teeth (teeth present at birth) is rare, Sean Keaney's case is exceptional due to the sheer number of teeth present. Typically, if a baby is born with teeth, it's usually one or two, and they are often removed to avoid issues with breastfeeding or potential injury to the baby or mother.

Here's a summary of the key information:

  • Baby's Name: Sean Keaney
  • Year of Birth: 1990
  • Location: United Kingdom
  • Number of Teeth at Birth: 12
  • Action Taken: Teeth were extracted.
