The whiteness seen on baby gums during teething is usually the first sign that a tooth is starting to push through the gum. This white spot or blister appears as the tip of the tooth gets closer to the gum surface and usually disappears within a few days as the tooth starts to emerge.
As long as there's no redness, swelling, fever, or distress, there's nothing to worry about. Keeping the gum clean and offering a cool teething toy can be soothing.
If the whiteness doesn't go away, grows bigger, or is causing your baby distress, I recommend seeing a pediatric dentist.
