Baby tooth appearance visual?

The appearance of the gums of a baby whose teeth are coming in is generally described as: slight redness on the lower or upper front gum area, slight swelling and a whitish (tooth tip) bump in the center. Sometimes, just before a tooth erupts, you might see a small swelling on the gum with a dull bluish-purple color (eruption hematoma / "tooth cyst") — this is not concerning and usually goes away on its own within weeks. In a healthy process without signs of illness, there is no other rash, sore, or inflammation; areas of the gums outside the tooth area (inner cheek, tongue, palate) appear naturally pink and smooth. If evaluation from a photo is needed, the general description above can be used as a reference — for individual evaluation of a baby's appearance, it's safest to consult a pediatrician.
