You may have heard a word like "teta" or "teygil" — this is a folk term used for hard and whitish small cysts that appear on the gums during the teething period in babies. In medicine, this is called "Epstein pearls" or "gum cyst."
These formations are completely harmless, don't cause the baby pain, and usually disappear on their own. They don't need treatment; definitely don't try to burst, squeeze, or scrape them. As baby teeth start to come in (usually between 6-12 months), these disappear on their own.
If you see a white-yellow spot on the gums and the baby has no fever, is not restless, and nursing is normal — there's no need to worry. But if you're uncertain or the baby has fever or excessive restlessness, show it to a pediatrician.
