Abstract
The natal and neonatal teeth have been reported to cause ulceration on the ventral surface of the tongue in
neonates and infants, which may affect the child’s feeding habits. This appearance was described by Riga and Fede and
hence been termed as Riga-Fede disease. We present a case report of a 3month old male infant presenting with a neonatal
tooth in the lower jaw and ulcerated ventral surface of the tongue causing difficulty in feeding.
