Babies teeth
Hi Doc
Wonder if you can help me. My daughter - 19 months old, has what seems to be her gum growing over her front tooth. It is just about half way over the tooth. I have not yet taken her for her first checkup at the dentist as i was waiting for a couple more teeth to come in as she only has 5 teeth. Please can you help me with what you think this could be.
Thanks
JuJu
