white spots on gums????????

[muma3]

just noticed my dd3 who is 8 months has white spots on her gums. both sides where her fangs would be . she has no teeth yet but they look like blisters rather then teeth plus they arent where the first teeth come through ??

im puzzled?

ds had those before his teeth came through.
actually, he got them, then they went, then they came back and then the teeth came!

sounds like oral thrush - your gp should be able to prescribe something.

first teeth come through anywhere

DD got canines (the fangs) first

the blisters are the teeth coming through .. they don't generally appear where you think they should be

dont think its thrush
its lil spots all grouped together not like a patch of white that could be a tooth or could it?

My son had white gums then the teeth came through.

but its about 5 tiny little spots and the gum is really red . does the gums blister before teeth come through??

Thursh can be little white spots rather than a coating - especially in the earlier stages.

took her docs - it was thrush . the nurse said that her teeth might be aggrevating her gums and therefore that could of started it off.
anyway got her some drops to put on it
thanks for the advice
