Pedodontist: It's probably erupting baby teeth under the gums in the process of coming in. However, it's time for your child to see a pedodontist (pediatric dentist) anyway for his\her first visit. Schedule an appointment just to be sure.

Teething?: It may be that the same tooth on both sides is ready to erupt. Very often just before a tooth comes into the mouth there can be what weems to be a swelling and a bluish color to the gums over the tooth.
