Have a little girl 6 years old starting to show bruising around her mouth and starting to get in her gums?

Adult teeth?: At 6 the baby teeth are starting to exfoliate. Should not be related to facial bruising though. Go to a good pedodontist.

Time for new teeth: It is probably normal eruption of the first permanent molars, or the central incisors, both of which erupt about age 6.
