The authors report a case of a young patient with conical midline supernumerary teeth. In cases where such supernumeraries are likely to erupt, early surgical intervention, often necessitating the administration of a general anaesthetic, should be avoided if possible. Extraction under local anaesthesia on eruption was preferred for this patient, and resulted in the normal eruption of the permanent central incisors.
