What Causes A Piece Of Gum To Hang During Teething In A Child?
My daughter is 8 1/2 months. It looks like her two top middle teeth are coming in, has been swollen for awhile now & you can see the white under the gums. This morning I noticed what looked like a piece of her gums hanging where one of the teeth should be coming out. How concerned should I be about this? Is this normal?

Hi...when the teeth are erupting it is quite common to see the white line on the gums, but it will not appear as hanging. But he is active otherwise and hi usual self, I don't think you need to worry.
