Actually, this is not really a baby skull. Adult teeth start as "buds" or "seeds" and don't get as big as that picture untill you're 6-9 years old... This is a child's skull with pieces of bone removed so you can see the teeth sitting there but not a baby skull!

First time I saw this picture, I yelled. Then my cute 3 years old came up to me and I yelled again.

and I thought they were creepy with skin and flesh all over their faces!

I am looking at my toothless baby and she's smiling up at me and I said to her I am on to you,you little toothless raptor ha ha ha )0(

The terrible thing about this picture is that it's the preserved skull of a child. A child who has died before their time and not been granted the very least we can do - a decent burial..

Fake picture. Nature is wonderful as primary teeth are small enough for a small maxilla and mandíbula. As you age the transformation to permanent dentition grows gradually as buds mature to permanent teeth in a very specific order. And for humans only once. Other animals who worn down their teeth will replace permanent teeth a certain number of times and when last replacement occurs they die.

That's the second creepiest thing I've ever seen...

Stuff of nightmares

How adorable.

That's a bit severe..........think an x-ray would have been kinder.

And even though I know (cognitively) this, seeing it is still creepy as f√¢k

no wonder teething hurts.

is that the real skull of a baby!!!!!!!!

Eeeek!

Nightmarefuel

I'd like to know more about this; anyone have anything they can add to it?

not true.... Adult teeth grow from buds. I am a trained Dental Assistant. The adult teeth push out the baby teeth. And probably this is a reproduction of an adult with superfluous teeth, or just a model of the growth and placement of teeth. Google it. Where is the source of this information?

While I know that’s how it works with the adult teeth, seeing this image is DEEPLY DISTURBING and it wouldn’t surprise me if I have nightmares because of it.

Elderly often show a third line appearing after forming in late years.

That's not a baby's skull - look at the proportions of it for a start, and the length of the roots. Baby teeth have very shallow roots because they are designed to be lost. It is actually the skull of an adult with hyperdontia, where too many teeth grow.

I would always consider myself to be liberal and not really religious but if that's authentic, that's deeply disturbing. Human remains do not belong on display in somebody's house.

my niece had no eye teeth, they knew that when she was a toddler

That was unsettling, a little, first because it was a baby's skull and then the double decker teeth rows.

Why does she have that

my question is, how did they get this?

I knew this. Freaky.

Interesting. That explaines why I had an extra tooth ...

‘Housing’ teeth.

so.. where did you get that skull huh?

This was taught in primary school. Normally when you learn about importance of hygiene and brushing your teeth.
