Hi

My 9 month old is about to cut his 6th tooth but on his gum in that position is a purple/black mound. At first I thought a black tooth was going to come through but DH seems to think that it could be a blood clot.

Has anyone else had this? Will the tooth still come through as normal bringing the clot with it (if it is indeed a clot) or should I take him to see a doctor or dentist??

All his other teeth have come through normally and this tooth doesnt seem to be bothering him at all which is why I havent taken him to see a doctor/dentist yet.

Thank you!
