4. Do Epstein’s Pearls Require Treatment?
Typically, Epstein's pearls don't require treatment. They usually dissolve over a few weeks. Mothers can give their baby a teething toy to help break down the cysts. The friction from breastfeeding or drinking from a bottle may also help dissolve the cysts.
It's recommended to make an appointment with the baby's pediatrician to examine any bumps in their mouth. The pediatrician may not need to do any testing to diagnose Epstein's pearls. Still, it's important to rule out other conditions.
