A little worried about my son teething?

My 8 month old son seems to be teething with one of his front teeth. He already has two teeth at the bottom.





Now i've always been able to seen the outline of his front teeth through his gum when looking straight on. I can still see them both, but the one that is coming through looked bruised and slightly swollen along the whole tooth. I can give you more details, i just don't know what to say :)





He's not really bothered by his mouth, he's playing happily %26amp; still eating/drinking.





Is this normal, or should I take him down to a see a dr (or dentist??)

Never hurts to aire on the side of caution. I trip to a pediatric dentist might be a good idea.
Reply:Go with what you are going to be comfortable with here, your concerned, if you can be releived by taking him to his Peditrician, do so, it is worth it.
Reply:Its all perfectly normal...and I hate to be the one to tell you, but it gets worse!





Go to Wal-Mart or your local naturalist store and buy some Hyland's All-natural teething tablets. These things are a life saver and work better tha Tylenol.
Reply:Well go to a doctor as soon as you can they will find something my sister used baby orajel and very cold teething toys so she could relax herself
Reply:If you are concerned, call his pediatrician first, though I'm pretty sure that this swelling is normal. You have to think that something erupting under a flap that was otherwise bare has to hurt and swell. Personally, I wouldn't worry until he ran fever and his habits changed. Good luck.
Reply:It's normal. Don't worry :)

Reply:this is way normal the baby is just at a stage where this happens so u can put on your breaks lol he/she is just fine
Reply:It's always best to call the doctor if you are worried about your baby. Most good doctors won't mind at all.
Reply:when you say it looks bruised,do you mean the tooth. i am not sure what a bruised tooth looks like,if it is dark,it may have been damaged .it could have happened while bumping or falling. if a tooth turns dark,he needs to see a dentist. he will probably be fine. the swelling is normal,while teething. my son damaged a baby tooth and it turned dark,luckily it came out at about 5 or 6 and he had a pretty white adult tooth take its place.it can be damaged before it erupts,though. need to check it out. that way you will know for sure and you will not have any regrets about it. by the way,i used to put damp clean washclothes in the freezer for the teething for them to suck on or just hold in their mouths agaist th gums.or put some finely crushed ice on their high chair tray. trying to pick them up and get them to their mouths is great for pincer skills at this age,and hand -eye and motor skills.good luck!
