my two-year olds teeth are bleeding a little at night and when we brush them in the morning. He cries when we brush (even with the soft brush and even with a swab), but does not bleed during the day. He has been crying when he eats things that are crispy and he points to his back molars, but we have never had bleeding when he has gotten new teeth in the past. What would be causing this? Teething?
Hello, Teething is possible since teeth need to fully erupt. Cold is helpful.  Make sure nails are trimmed to avoid cutting gums with fingers placed in the mouth. Check that teeth are bright white and all discoloration can be removed. If any concerns, schedule a dental exam to rule out decay. Enamel can erode if your baby sleeps with a bottle. Remember, only water in a bottle at night. Infections are possible. Do your best to keep the teeth clean and remove plaque. Inflamed gums can be sensitive. Consider a dental cleaning.
