White lumps on baby's gums

The baby is now in the golden period of growth, so the baby's growth in all aspects is very fast. Some parents will find that white bumps appear on their baby's gums. Parents sometimes worry whether there is something wrong with their children’s health. In fact, this is not the case. The white bulges on the baby's gums are mainly caused by inflammation of the teeth when the baby eats, which leads to bulges on the gums.

For most babies, 4-6 weeks after birth, small yellow-white spots appear on both sides of the midline of the upper palate and on the edge of the gums.

It looks like a growing tooth, commonly known as "horse tooth"... Some people don't know the origin of "horse tooth" and think it is a disease. They use a needle to pick it or wipe it with a cloth, which is very dangerous because the baby's oral mucosa is very thin.

Milk teeth are normal physiological phenomena. They are formed by the accumulation of epithelial cells or retention of glandular secretions in the mouth of newborns. They will disappear on their own after a few weeks and have no effect on the children. They should not be wiped with a cloth or pricked with a needle, otherwise it will easily cause infection and even neonatal sepsis. I hope that parents will believe in science and not blindly believe in the so-called folk experience.
