How Can A Gum Cyst Be Treated?

My 2 1/2 month old has been demonstrating the signs of teething for a few weeks, how long might it take for a tooth to come through? Also, I noticed a small white bump on his bottom gum (looking at him it is to the left of center) which his dr said is a cyst and will go away. Could that be bothering him?

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that the white bump in the gum with signs of teething seems to be most probably an Eruption Hematoma or an Eruption cyst that occurs as a fluid filled pale coloured lump and it is not a harmful condition and will resolve as the tooth will erupt..

The first tooth to erupt in mouth is at the age of 5-6 months and is lower front tooth..

But in case if there is any problem associated with it or the tooth gets delay in erupting then it has to be removed to let the tooth erupt in the mouth and once the tooth erupts there is no further problem associated with it..

Consult a Pedodontist once and get it confirmed by a clinical evaluation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
