Traumatic ulceration occurring on ventral surface of the tongue is a rare paediatric chronic condition observed in neonates with natal or neonatal teeth due to continuous contact between the tongue and natal/neonatal teeth during physiologic activities such as suckling and swallowing, which in turn may interfere with proper feeding, putting the neonate at risk for nutritional deficiencies. The ulceration may also be the presenting sign of an underlying developmental or neurologic disorder. This case report details the management of a sublingual traumatic ulcer in a 17 day old infant.
