I have a 2 year old and it looks like her 2nd molars are coming in.  I looked at her mouth this morning and she has 2 black (which I think is blood) spots where those teeth would come in.  One is more swollen then the other.  Is it normal for those to be blood pockets?  Or should we take her to a dentist today?  Please let me know. Im a little worried
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that the black pockets that are appearing in the area of the eruption of the second molar tooth of your toddler seems to be most probably an Eruption Hematoma or an Eruption cyst that occurs as a fluid filled pale to bluish black colored lump, and it is not a harmful condition and will resolve as the tooth will erupt. But in case if there is any problem associated with it or the tooth gets delay in erupting then it has to be removed to let the tooth erupt in the mouth and once the tooth erupts there is no further problem associated with it. Consult a Periodontist once and get it confirmed by a clinical evaluation. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
