Pediatric Dentist: Please take your daughter to a local pediatric dentist who can evaluate what you've described. So hard to determine what her condition is, sight unseen.

See dentist: or pedodontist (kids dentist specialist). I can appreciate your concern about your kid's dental health, but finding a proper diagnosis and treatment may be the best answer to your problem. Sometimes no treatment is needed. See a dentist for a short consultation.

See Dentist: Please have your child examined by a Dentist or preferably a Pediatric Dental Specialist, a specialist in dental growth and development. First the infection needs IMMEDIATE treatment. Second, when there is one eruption anomaly there are often multiple eruption anomalies. Your child has to be examined and probably x-rayed to diagnose the problem and establish treatment plan. Please call now.
