7. Can an Expectant Mom Prevent Epstein’s Pearls?
Epstein's pearls develop while a baby grows in the womb and occur in four out of five pregnancies. They don't typically indicate any other problems with the baby, and an examination by a pediatrician can confirm this. There is nothing an expectant mom can do to prevent Epstein's pearls.
Even though seeing these cysts in a baby's mouth can be unsettling, they should go away within a few weeks. If they remain longer, it's best to bring the baby to their pediatrician for a checkup.
