Question
What’s happening when children’s teeth turn red during the tooth change?
Answer
This is due to the irritation caused by the emergence of new teeth, and it may also indicate some gingivitis. However, if there is no obvious bleeding, there is generally no serious problem. Of course, parents should observe if only a part of the gums is red. If the entire mouth is affected, it may not be inflammation. This is a physiological response of cellular congestion, and there is generally no serious issue.
