Even if parents prepare well for a new baby's arrival, unexpected situations sometimes arise, causing concern or alarm. Finding white bumps in a baby's mouth is one of those surprise discoveries many parents don't anticipate. However, foreign-looking white dots in a baby's mouth are frequently Epstein's pearls, a harmless and common condition in newborns.
The subject of Epstein's pearls isn't usually discussed in parenting books even though it's a condition that appears in 65 to 85 percent of infants from newborn up to six months of age. The good news is Epstein's pearls don't cause discomfort and aren't typically a serious condition.1‘Epstein Pearls: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia.’ MedlinePlus - Health Information from the National Library of Medicine, 23 Jan. 2020, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001603.htm.
