Hi I have a daughter that is 11 months she has only two teeth growing in at the bottom but I noticed at the top of her gums right above the bottom teeth I see a little cut or a bruise then I started checking the gums on the too and they kinda look weird to me I dnt know what to do
Hello, I can understand your concern. When a tooth is erupting into oral cavity, the gum over the tooth becomes red, inflamed and swollen. It also becomes slightly sore making the child irritated and annoyed. The gum that you are explaining seems cut as the tooth is erupting through the cut and the gums looks weird because the teeth are still erupting. Once the eruption will be complete, the gum and teeth will resume normal appearance. The child may stick out tongue often and can also produce lots of saliva and Chat Doctor. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best,
