10. Do Epstein’s Pearls Occur in Older Children or Adults?
True Epstein's pearls occur during fetal development and don't develop in older children or adults. Still, children and adults can develop dental cysts near the root of a damaged or dead tooth. Dental cysts may look very similar to Epstein's pearls. They typically aren't a problem unless they get infected and cause swelling and pain.
Children and adults who have bumps in their mouths that look like Epstein's pearls should be seen by a doctor or dentist for an examination and diagnosis.
