No abnormalities are identified.

Dental History:
The patient has two erupted teeth. The parents brush their child's teeth once a day.

Clinical Findings:
The lesions consist of a pedunculated, bilobed soft tissue enlargement of the right mandibular mucolabial fold and a smaller, unilobed enlargement of the left mandibular mucolabial fold. The lesions are compressible, nontender and have a smooth surface.
