Could My Three Year Old Be Teething????!!!!

My son says he has a "hurt spot" in his mouth on his gum, he has had his fingers in his mouth a lot, his gum is turning that white that only a teething child gets, he has the diarrhea and he just went to the dentist two weeks ago and he has no cavities. I really think he is teething but he already has 20 teeth. It sounds so much like teething, I just thought I would ask if its possible. I took him to the doctor about the diarrhea and they couldn't find a thing wrong with him.

My dd1 had 28 teeth by the age of 5 so it is possible, but very very unusual, might be worth a check up?

children can get new teeth up to the age of 3 and half so it sounds very much like he is teathing, my 2.5yr old is still waiting on 4teeth
