Bruised gums

3 replies

evansmummy · 30/04/2006 21:38

My ds is teething again and one of his back gums is swollen and black, It's quite hard and obviously causing him a bit of pain, although not if he's occupied with something else. Is this sort of bruising (I'm assuming that's what it is, it could be something else, though) normal with teething or do you think it's some sort of infection or something?

my dd2 had this as well when her top front teeth came in. a bit scary as I didn't know ahta it was and thought she was going to lose her teeth before they even dropped down!
