Background: Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (CFCS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that is considered one of the neuro-CFCS that occur due to a genetic mutation. The clinical presentation of this syndrome includes mental retardation, facial features, and others. Objectives: The purpose of this article is to describe the clinical manifestations, dental considerations, oral findings, and management strategies in CFC-affected pediatric patients. Case Description: A 9-year-old Saudi male presented with his mother to the pediatric dentistry clinic at King Saud Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The patient was a known case of CFCS and complained of dental pain that affected his quality of life. Full mouth rehabilitation was done under general anesthesia, and the case was followed up 14 days after the procedure. Conclusion: Strict oral hygiene and preventive measures would help to prevent early tooth loss and eliminate the risk of exposing patients to general anesthesia. Prenatal and postnatal education are needed to prevent extensive treatment in such cases.
