In total there are twenty primary (first) teeth, which is twelve less than the full set of thirty-two permanent teeth adults have. Pain is most often the case since babies become accustomed to the signs of teething and learn to live with them. But you may find your baby may be fussy during the whole time that every tooth comes in. Every child reacts differently.
Rarely, the presence of a natal tooth is just one of several unusual physical findings which make up a syndrome. If the possibility of a syndrome exists, consultation with a pediatric dentist and/or geneticist can be helpful.
