The look of gums when teething

Phoebe has gotten her top right tooth and the left is still to make an appearance. However the gum there looks discoloured - like a bruise?
Has anyone noticed this with their baby? I am not sure if it is normal (didn't notice it with Natty) or if she might have injured herself in which case maybe I should do something to treat it? She has been very unsettled the last couple of days, but she also has a cold so that may be the cause.

The only thing i really noticed about DD#2's gums were that they were quite swollen as her teeth were coming through, she got her bottom front teeth at the same time.
I suppose it's quite possible that the teeth coming through may have bruised her gums?
