An inverted mesiodens is a rare complication of the developing dentition. This case report is of a 6-year-old female child in whom this mesiodens was discovered before the eruption of permanent incisors when radiographs were taken to ascertain the condition of her carious primary maxillary incisors. The inverted mesiodens were surgically removed, which was followed by eruption of the permanent central incisors within a few days.
