3 year old toddler gums are bleeding on one side when brushing teeth. she had a dentist check up 2 weeks ago & was fine. could it be a cavity? how to get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be gingivostomatitis-small blistery lesions with redness over the gum and tongue. If so, no treatment is necessary.
