Epstein Pearls treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Epstein pearls are small whitish or yellowish cysts that appear on the palate or gums of many newborns. They are harmless accumulations of keratin and are considered a normal finding in babies.

What to expect? They generally cause no pain or difficulty feeding and usually disappear on their own over the weeks, without the need for any intervention.

When to consult? It is advisable to have them checked if they persist longer than expected, grow, become red, or if there are doubts about whether it is a different lesion in the baby's mouth.

Which specialist evaluates it? The pediatrician and the dentist, especially the pediatric dentist, can confirm what it is and provide reassurance to the parents. For any concern about your baby's mouth, it is best to have one of these professionals examine it calmly.
