My poor little guy is in the throes of teething right now. He's got 4 teeth coming in all at once and not very happy about it. BUT, one tooth has been "coming in" for at least three or four weeks now. At that spot, his gums are swollen from top to bottom, almost like a little blister outlining the whole area where his tooth eventually will be. BTW, the tooth is not poking through the bottom at all.
I have never seen this before. Usually the gum is just swollen at the bottom, at the place where the tooth will pop out. I hope this is making sense. I was wondering if anyone else has ever had a tooth come in like this before. Does a tooth ever need intervention to come out, or will it eventually come through on its own? If so, how long does it take when it comes in like this?
